Education

[edit]

Park received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Biochemistry from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He also acquired medical science research training at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky and received a master's degree in science in biophysics.

After his medical school and graduate school research training, Park served his surgery transitional internship at Cleveland Clinic Foundation Health Systems. Next, he did his residency training in diagnostic radiology and internal medicine at IU Medical Center. Afterwards he finished subspecialist medical training in Hematology and Oncology at WVU Cancer Institute and received additional medical training as a visiting fellow at University of Pittsburgh in cancer immunotherapy.[48]

He is a practicing cancer physician at Norton Cancer Institute and a physician member of the molecular tumor board at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center.[49] Park is triple-board-certified in internal medicine, hematology and oncology.[50]

Research

[edit]

Park has participated in multiple cancer clinical trials in lung, melanoma, thyroid, and bone marrow transplant. He has been nationally recognized as an exceptional doctor by his physician colleagues and was given an honorary title as a distinguished fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP) for providing outstanding patient care and significant medical research contributions.[51]

Park has written cancer papers about PET/CT and regional brain metabolic changes associated with depression in metastatic breast cancer,[52] sorafenib and thyroid cancer,[53] pemetrexed-based chemotherapy in lung cancer,[54] atypical neurolymphomatosis,[55] metformin use and allogenic stem cell transplant,[56] and decreased cancer rates.[57]

Park's medical research also included an MRI study that used viscoelastic pads to improve patient care during MRI studies. His research group developed the patented viscoelastic pads used by many of the current MRI tables.[58] The viscoelastic pads decrease ischemia, pain, and discomfort for patients undergoing MRI studies. His MRI research led to improved quality of the MRI imaging studies to improve patient care,[59] He has also studied the effect of nicotine on bone arteriole blood flow.[60]

He also volunteers on the editorial board of Journal of Hospital Practice and helps select cancer journal articles for hospital physicians.[61]

Public speaking

[edit]

After his landmark MRI study was published, Park has been a live public speaker at large medical society meetings including American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, and Radiological Society of North America.[62] He was invited as a speaker to discuss "Designing Continuing Professional Development that improves patients care: Insights from a Practicing Oncologist" at the annual Alliance for Continuing Education meeting in Orlando, Florida.[63] In July 2018, he was interviewed by healthcare industry leading magazine Managed Health Care Executive on Five Ways Health Execs Can improve Lymphoma Treatment.[64]

In January 2020, he gave a live oral presentation to the Alliance of Continuing Medical Education for Healthcare Providers to improve cancer care by medical oncologists by discussing the importance of shared decision making with physicians, patients, nurses, patients' families, pharmacists, and the entire clinical care team.[65] He also co-hosted a medical education program for the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer that discussed Advances in Cancer Immunotherapy on December 10, 2020.[66]
