Ellen Choi

Dr. Ellen Choi serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care at the University of Chicago. Her academic work focuses on improving patient safety protocols in perioperative settings through systematic evaluation of clinical practices.

Her research interests center on perioperative care safety, with particular emphasis on checklist implementation, critical event management, and healthcare survey methodologies. Dr. Choi's work examines the practical challenges in adopting safety protocols within complex medical environments.

Her recent publication in PLoS One (2025) analyzes why critical event checklists are not consistently utilized in perioperative settings through retrospective survey methodology. This work contributes to the broader field of patient safety research, highlighting implementation barriers in anesthesia and critical care contexts.

Dr. Choi collaborates with researchers including Avery Tung and Anna Clebone, indicating active participation in the anesthesia research community. While specific grant information isn't provided, her publication record suggests ongoing research in medical safety protocols.
