Gastroenterologist Michelle Kang Kim, MD, PhD, has been named chair of the Department of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
In the role, Dr. Kim will guide the department’s clinical, research and educational mission, according to a Nov. 5 news release from NYU Langone Health.
She is a specialist in gastrointestinal carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors, and her research is centered on the development of gastrointestinal cancer and prognosis in carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors.
Dr. Kim succeeds Steven Abramson, MD, who led the department for more than a decade.
