An Kim

An Kim, M.D., serves as Assistant Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University, and Assistant Attending Anesthesiologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. His clinical practice integrates advanced anesthetic care with specialized research in high-risk pediatric cardiac cases.

Dr. Kim's academic foundation includes:

• B.S. in Biological Sciences from Georgetown University (2010)
• M.S. in Biomedical Sciences from Tufts University School of Medicine (2012)
• M.D. from Drexel University College of Medicine (2017)

His research program centers on neurocognitive sequelae in congenital heart disease patients, examining how perioperative factors influence long-term developmental outcomes. Through interdisciplinary collaboration with cardiology and neurology teams, he investigates anesthesia protocols to mitigate memory impairment risks during critical surgical windows in pediatric populations.

His 2022 narrative review in the Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology established foundational connections between cardiac surgery, anesthesia exposure, and cognitive development patterns. This work reflects emerging priorities in pediatric anesthesiology to address neuroprotection as a core component of perioperative care standards.

Board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, Dr. Kim maintains active clinical engagement while advancing research methodologies for objective cognitive assessment in vulnerable pediatric cohorts. His work bridges translational neuroscience with practical anesthetic applications in complex cardiac cases.
