Jasmine Kim, MD
Jasmine’s fascination with human behavior led her from neuroscience studies at Duke University to child psychiatry research at Tulane Medical School. While serving underserved populations during her psychiatry residency at SUNY Downstate/Kings County Hospital, she discovered an innate pull towards enhancing patient safety and quality improvement. This interest, combined with her focus on systems-based care, naturally guided her toward informatics. In her pastime, she reads about human motivations, socioemotional development, and conflict resolution—topics that seem to seamlessly intersect with informatics, especially in change management. Jasmine chose Boston Children’s Hospital because of its commitment to solving the nation’s child mental health crisis, hoping to contribute with her operations work and informatics research.
