Biography

Dr. Kim is a critical care neurologist with expertise in quantitative analysis of critical care electroencephalography and neuroimaging. Dr. Kim graduated from Brown University for her undergraduate and M.D.-Ph.D. degrees. She completed her residency in Neurology followed by a neurocritical care fellowship at Massachusetts General and Brigham & Women's Hospitals.

Dr. Kim is dedicated to advancing the early diagnosis and treatment of patients with devastating neurologic injury who are at highest risk for short and long-term complications. Dr. Kim is applying novel computational methods to the data gathered within the neurologic intensive care unit to predict patients who are at high risk for further injury. Her ultimate goal is to use these predictions to optimize treatment strategies which prevent these complications.

Clinical Care

Overview

Jennifer Kim, MD, PhD, is a neurologist who specializes in neurocritical care. She says caring for patients and their families is the most rewarding part of her job.

“I love being able to help treat the sickest neurologically injured patients and to do my best to help them towards recovery,” says Dr. Kim, who treats numerous conditions, including traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain hemorrhage, hemorrhagic stroke, status epilepticus, and ischemic stroke.

“Brain injuries are often very sudden and leave both patients and families having to grapple very quickly with an altered level of function and even awareness,” she says. “I value helping these patients, their families and doing research so that we can continuously strive to improve our care of future patients.”
