Biography
Dr. Koo is a resident in neurological surgery at Yale-New Haven Hospital. He received his undergraduate degree in Public Health and Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2015. He was a Colonel Robinson Scholar, and worked for the Health subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee. He received his MD from the Yale School of Medicine, where he was awarded the NIH T35 Research grant, the Taylor Opportunity Research award, and the Heinrich Quincke Research Scholarship. His interest in health policy parallels his academic research where he examines healthcare utilization and cost and risk factors in neurosurgical care to improve clinical decision-making.
