Kevin Su, MD (They/Them)
Medical School: Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University
What I like best about Metropolitan Hospital: I appreciate the other residents and the opportunity to work in a public hospital in NYC with diverse, high-need patients.

I also like how psychiatrists have to think not just about each patient’s biology, but also their psychology and social context in order to formulate the best plan of care.
Interests:
Within Medicine: Public psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, LGBTQ+ healthcare
Outside Medicine: Live music, dance.
