Dr. Kim brings a wealth of experience and dedication to her role as DEI Officer on the ASTS Council. She attended medical school at the University of California San Francisco before completing her residency at Tufts University, where her passion for transplant began. From there, she attended Stanford University School of Medicine, where she completed her fellowship.

Dr. Kim is a decades-long member of ASTS, and has been deeply involved in advancing ASTS’ mission. She has contributed her leadership and vision across multiple committees, including the Bylaws Committee, Fellowship Training Committee, and the Boldly Against Racism Task Force - a coordinated effort to directly address racism and promote permanent and positive change. Dr. Kim has also served as a Councilor-at-Large from 2020-2023.

"It’s an honor to represent our professional organization of transplant surgeons as the DEI officer, a position rooted in the importance of representation and inclusion of all members in our society.

My goal for the ASTS is to foster broad engagement of our membership and to surface and integrate the many perspectives and needs of this diverse organization and the patients we serve."
