Current Fellows

Class of 2028

Sarah Greenfield, MD

Medical School – UT Southwestern
Residency – UT Southwestern

I was born in St. Louis, MO but have spent most of my life in Texas. I studied Medical Humanities at Baylor University and completed medical school and pediatric residency at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. I am passionate about education for both medical learners and families, communication, narrative medicine and community outreach. I have an interest in post-ICU outcomes which I look forward to investigating further during fellowship. Above all, I am grateful every day for the ability to care for patients and their families and am excited to take in all of the learning that Stanford has to offer.

I am married to my wonderful husband Chris (a Bay Area native) and am thrilled to be moving close to family. We enjoy spending time outside with our adopted German shepherd-cattle dog mix Mabel, exploring as many restaurants as possible, cooking and traveling. We cannot wait to enjoy the natural beauty of northern California.

Steven Kwasi Korang, MD, PhD

Medical School - Københavns Universitet Det Sundhedsvidenskabelige og Medicinsk Fakultet, Denmark
Residency - CHLA

I was born and raised in Denmark and earned my medical degree and Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Prior to medical school, I was a Track & Field athlete on the Danish National team running between 100 and 400m. I have received most of my research training at the Copenhagen Trial Unit and the GCSRT program at Harvard Medical School. My main focus research topics have been evidence synthesis (Cochrane reviews and clinical guidelines). Still, I also have a great interest in pediatric sepsis, which was also the topic of my Ph.D projects. I recently worked under Dr. Khemani and Dr. Iyer on the PALLIC 2 guidelines for Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, providing methodological and statistical expertise to develop the guidelines. I am very excited to start a fellowship in Pediatric Critical Care and hope to build the necessary skillset and network during fellowship to lead RCTs in pediatric critical care.

I like outdoor activities, shopping, and traveling to new places/areas for fun. My true weakness/ Achilles heel is reality shows such as “Love is Blind,” “Married at First Sight”, and “The Ultimatum”!

Fun fact: I am a Ravenclaw and an ESTJ.

Megan LeBlanc, DO

Medical School - A.T. Still University of Health Sciences Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine
Residency – Duke University

I grew up in Reading, MA with my parents and two younger siblings. For my undergrad degree, I went to Syracuse University where I received my bachelors in neuroscience and psychology, after which I earned my masters in cell and molecular biology from Tulane University. Before going to medical school, I worked in two research labs studying multisensory integration in children with autism spectrum disorders using EEG in the first, followed by benchtop lab work studying the system xcantiporter in the astrocytes of mice. In 2018 I matriculated to A.T. Still University for medical school and completed my clinical years in hospitals throughout the Phoenix, AZ area before matching to categorical pediatrics residency at Duke University Children's Hospital. While at Duke, it rapidly became clear to me that my home in the medical field is within pediatric critical care! I spent my nonclinical time at Duke working on research projects in both cardiology and critical care topics. My projects included analyzing a remote longitudinal monitoring mobile health application in single ventricle heart disease patients in the interstage period; an analysis of CardioHelp ECMO usage in pediatrics at Duke; simulation-based QI work for ECMO deployment in the ED setting; and a translational research project working to develop an intravascular membrane oxygenation catheter being tested in a large animal model of ARDS.

Outside the hospital, I enjoy spending my time outdoors whenever possible, reading (with very vast genre tastes!), hiking, trying new restaurants/wineries, traveling to new places, and spending time with my friends, family, and husband Walker! I am so thrilled to move to California and to join the Stanford Critical Care team as the next step in my journey!

Angela Ray, MD

Medical School – University of Illinois College of Medicine
Residency - CHLA

Hi, I’m Angela! I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago before heading to Alabama for college, where I spent a semester studying abroad in Austria. After graduation, I returned to Chicago to work for a mobile clinic serving Chicago Public Schools while also teaching a high school class on dementia and complementary medicine. I attended medical school at the University of Illinois and then moved to Los Angeles for pediatric residency at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where I developed an interest in pediatric critical care, ethics, and palliative care. After residency, I spent a year as a pediatric hospitalist at CHLA, where I was fortunate to continue caring for a community I love. Although I will miss it, I am excited to move north and explore a new community.

Outside of medicine, I love being outdoors in any fashion, traveling (most recent trip: backpacking throughout Tasmania), reading, and enthusiastically starting (but rarely finishing) new crafts. My husband, Cyrus, also a pediatrician, and I share our home with three 18-year-old cockatiels, Buddy, Noodles, and Winston. I’m excited to join the Stanford PICU team and can’t wait to meet everyone!

Scott Richardson, MD

Medical School – ECU Brody School of Medicine
Residency - UCLA

Hello! My name is Scott Richardson. I was born in New Mexico and moved around throughout the United Stated having lived in New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Mexico, and South Carolina. My family settled in Charlotte, NC where my parents currently reside. I have three sisters whom I’m very close with. I was a twosport collegiate athlete having competed in football and wrestling. I completed medical school at East Carolina University followed by pediatric residency at UCLA in Los Angeles. I have a strong passion in medical education having tutored and instructed for MCAT and USMLE. My research in residency focused on hepatorenal syndrome, but I am excited to embark on new scientific questions.

In my free time, I enjoy running, trying new restaurants, and watching sports. I enjoy attending live sporting events and look forward to all the sporting events within the bay area.

Nina Shevzov-Zebrun, MD

Medical School – NYU Grossman School of Medicine
Residency – Stanford University

I grew up in Western Massachusetts, my early life focused largely on pre-professional training in ballet. After a number of signs pointed me towards science over the stage, I shifted my sights to medicine. I earned a BA in Chemistry at Harvard, then spent a couple of years working in management consulting before moving to New York for medical school at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. There, I discovered Pediatrics—and found my home. I also identified the field of medical humanities, an ideal place to merge my artistic and medical worlds. When it was time for residency, my husband, a Bay Area native, was ready for better weather—and we moved across the country for my pediatrics residency at Stanford. As a resident, I developed a unique appreciation for the patients, peers and physiology I encountered in the PICU—sentiments and experiences I could not forget nor leave behind. I also solidified my interest in interdisciplinary, medical humanities-related research and medical education, and, in particular, work related to non-verbal communication in clinical settings. I created and co-instructed a novel course on non-verbal communication, Physical Listening, for Stanford undergraduate and medical students, cross-listed between the Stanford School of Medicine and the Department of Theater and Performance Studies. In parallel, I started to hone a qualitative research toolkit, conducting focus group research on eating disorder screening in CA public schools. In the future, I hope to leverage this skillset to undertake projects examining—and, ideally, improving—clinical communication in the ICU. I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue my training in Pediatric Critical Care at Stanford. I look forward to learning as much as possible from my mentors, co-fellows and patients, and to growing my academic contributions across the medical humanities, communication-related scholarship, medical education, and beyond.

Outside of the hospital, I enjoy many California things—running, hiking in nature with my husband and rat terrier, and of course wine tasting. I also enjoy creative writing, fiction and nonfiction, and am always on the lookout for new ways to incorporate writing into my medical career.

Class of 2027

Jessica Hsueh, MD

Medical School: Northwestern University

Residency: University of Illinois

I was born and raised in the South San Francisco Bay Area to first generation Taiwanese immigrants. I went to UC San Diego for college where I majored in biochemistry and minored in global health with a medical anthropology focus. In La Jolla, I met my husband, a surfer named Sean, while working at Scripps Research Institute and promptly moved him to Chicago for medical school at Northwestern University. We loved the cold so much, we decided to stay in Chicago while I pursued my internal medicine and pediatrics (MedPeds) residency, chief residency and a medical education fellowship at the University of Illinois in Chicago. During this time, I helped implement our new X+Y schedule, created a multidisciplinary medical education track, revamped curricula on resident mistreatment and self-advocacy, and worked with both the pediatric and adult critical care teams to develop resuscitation simulation bootcamps. I am especially curious about the evolution of expertise and belonging over the course of training, particularly as it pertains to critical care response teams, resuscitation leadership, and underrepresented groups in medicine. Luckily, I will have plenty of time to explore these big topics during my combined adult and pediatric critical care fellowship at Stanford!

As the oldest of three sisters, I was the first person in my extended family to pursue a career in medicine (...and will still be the last one to finish training)! My middle sister Janet is a fashionable and worldly New York City corporate lawyer who specializes in biotechnology. My youngest sister Jennifer is an incredible emergency medicine resident at Beth Israel; she has endured many late-night calls when my cooking goes awry! My less dangerous hobbies include gardening, crocheting, running, and event planning. I am a proud cat mom (zero fatalities) and less successful plant mom (too many fatalities to count).

Tommy O'Gorman, MD

Medical School: University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
Residency: Lurie Children's

Hi, I'm Tommy. I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina. I did my undergrad at Vanderbilt University (go 'Dores) and my medical school at the University of North Carolina (go Heels). I came up to Chicago for residency at Lurie Children's Hospital and stuck around for a chief resident year. While in medical school and residency, I fell in love with medical education and simulation and developed longitudinal scholarly tracks for our residency program.

When I'm not at work, I enjoy cooking, photography, working out, trying new restaurants, and playing board games with my fiancée. I can't wait to say goodbye to Chicago winters and join the Stanford community!

Mäité Van Hentenryck, MD

Residency: Stanford University

Medical School: Stanford University

Hi, I’m Maïté! My family is from Belgium but I grew up mostly in Rhode Island. I studied neuroscience at Brown University for undergraduate, then spent a year in France working in a bacterial meningitis lab and getting a masters in developmental cell biology. I followed my brother and sister-in-law to California for medical school and have been very grateful to stay for pediatrics residency and now fellowship. I have an interest in medical education, palliative care, and disability inclusion, as well as improving transitions of care for patients who use languages other than English.

Outside of work, I love to open water swim, bike, woodwork, read, and spend time with my family and friends. I am excited to join the Stanford PCCM family for the next chapter!

Erin Williams, MD

Medical School: Columbia University

Residency: Norwell Health

I was born and raised on Long Island, NY with my three younger brothers. I received my B.A. in Neuroscience and Biology from the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY Queens College. I then moved to Philadelphia where I worked as a restaurant server while working on my Master in Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. After finishing my master’s degree, I moved down to Baltimore to work at the Berman Institute of Bioethics at Johns Hopkins University where I completed several studies related to the care of children with chronic critical illness. During this time, I became really interested in pediatric critical care and children with medical complexity. I returned to New York for medical school at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University and then pediatrics residency at Cohen Children’s Medical Center (CCMC) at Northwell Health in Queens, NY. In medical school, I completed several research projects about caring for long-stay patients in the PICU and hope to continue this research in fellowship. While at CCMC, I was elected “intern of the year” by my co-residents and recognized by the nursing staff with an award in pediatric clinical excellence. I’m excited to continue to develop my clinical and leadership skills in fellowship and hope to find a new home in the Stanford PICU community!

When I’m not working, you can find me at the beach, going to as many concerts as I can afford (last show was general admission at The Rolling Stones), or hanging out with my dog, Ghost, at the dog park!

Jeff Yang, MD

Medical School: UCSF

Residency: Stanford Medicine

I was born and raised in Southern California, mostly in the Orange County area. I went to UC Berkeley (Go Bears!) for bioengineering and UCSF for medical school. Before medicine, I participated in a Biodesign Immersion Experience at Berkeley and worked with a medical device start-up. After medical school, I trained at Stanford for my pediatric residency and cardiology fellowship, where I found my love for ICU and cardiac medicine, especially when they intersect! My research interests lie in optimizing the usage of clinical monitoring systems both to enhance patient care and reduce provider alarm fatigue.

I was just married a little over a year ago in Sonoma to my wonderful wife, Tiffany. We have a 3-year-old golden doodle named Theo who loves to cuddle. In our free time, we love to travel, play sports, cook, explore new food spots, and visit wineries/breweries. Excited to eat, drink, and explore with everyone.

Class of 2026

Katie Carome, MD

Medical School: New York Medical College

Residency: Northwestern University / Lurie Children's

I grew up in Washington, DC and wanted to be in medicine for as long as I can remember—though it took quite a while to realize the PICU is where I belong. I attended Boston College where I earned a B.S. in Biology. Outside of lecture halls/labs, I was a member of Boston College's gospel choir, Voices of Imani, and volunteered as an EMT with Boston College EMS. After college, I spent my gap year working in the Division of Neonatology as a research assistant. I attended New York Medical College for medical school. I entered medical school planning on being a neonatologist and my research in the NICU at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital was in breastmilk medicine. I have spent the last 3 years in Chicago at Northwestern/Lurie Children's Hospital, where I realized the right ICU for me was in fact the PICU. Outside of my clinical interests I am interested in palliative care, bioethics, communication, and breastfeeding medicine. I completed a bioethics concentration in medical school and am completing a bioethics certificate at Northwestern this spring. In residency, my research project has been part of a breaking bad news curriculum for pediatric residents. I hope to continue to study and improve communication training for residents, fellows, and attendings throughout my career. I also hope to become a certified lactation consultant.

Outside of the hospital, my husband Kevin and I love taking our rambunctious husky, Rocket, on walks and are looking forward to being able to go on proper hikes again as we leave the flat Midwest. My favorite thing to do when I'm stressed is bake, and I firmly believe calls are better when there are baked goods. Some of my favorite things to bake include creme brûlée, macaron, cupcakes of all flavors, and anything maple.

Kevin Doré, MD

Medical School: Dartmouth College

Residency: Cornell University

Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, I am a proud Midwesterner. I completed my undergraduate work at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and graduated with dual degrees in Biology and History. After college, I worked as a Teach For America corps member in Chicago, where I taught seventh and eighth grade science and social studies on the city’s South Side. My teaching experience was deeply rewarding and ultimately led me to a career path in medicine. After teaching, I moved to New Hampshire to attend medical school at Dartmouth and subsequently finished my residency at Weill Cornell/New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. I am now thrilled to continue my training at Stanford!

My long-term goals involve building a career at the intersection of clinical medicine and healthcare policy. I also have academic interests in simulation and initiatives to help improve the utilization of blood products in the critical care setting.

On a personal level, I love staying active through sports such tennis and golf, reading fantasy and science fiction books, indulging in Thai Food, and cheering on the Chicago Bulls.

Hannah Ford, MD

Medical School: Columbia University

Residency: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)

I grew up just outside of New York City. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies from Columbia University, I spent several years working as an elementary and middle school teacher in Chicago. I then returned to Columbia University for medical school where my love of teaching and working with children led me to Pediatrics, especially the care of critically ill children, and the field of medical education. During my residency at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, I grew my interest in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine and completed supplementary training in medical education. In the year prior to fellowship, I remained at CHOP as a hospitalist in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and General Pediatrics, engaging in research on neurologic outcomes of critically ill children with sepsis as well as gaining experience with simulation facilitation for trainees.

I am incredibly excited to embark on the next step of this journey as a Pediatric Critical Care fellow at Stanford! My academic interests include medical education, particularly the use of simulation as an educational and QI tool, and sepsis. When not in the hospital, I enjoy theater, board games, dancing (lindy hop/fusion), reading for pleasure, hiking, and traveling.
