Kristina Krohn, MD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine, affiliated with the Division of Hospital Medicine. Her academic work focuses on medical education, gender equity in healthcare, combating medical misinformation, and global health initiatives.

Her research explores critical areas such as

• Addressing gender disparities in academic medicine through micro-recognitions
• Improving faculty wellbeing through departmental and disability-inclusive policy reforms
• Enhancing medical student training in misinformation detection using "lateral reading" techniques
• Advancing global health equity through resource-limited pediatric care strategies
• Revising race-based clinical algorithms in nephrology
• Developing physician communication skills via media fellowships

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on health equity (gender, linguistic, racial), medical education innovation, and systemic improvements in healthcare delivery. While her earlier work in organometallic chemistry demonstrates a multidisciplinary background, recent studies highlight her transition to medicine-focused research and education.

She contributes to academic discourse through publications on medical curriculum development and participates in programs addressing health disparities.
