Chandler Park is an American physician, medical journalist, and clinical researcher. Park contributes regularly as an expert physician for popular newspapers and magazines such as Newsweek,[1] Reader's Digest,[2][3] U.S. News & World Report,[4] The Exponent-Telegram,[5] College of St. Scholastica,[6] and Medscape.[7] He also writes medical news for Doximity an online medical social network that includes over 800,000 clinicians.[8][9][10] Park is the founder of Cancervisit® a company dedicated to helping cancer patients and their families.[11]

Park was selected as a thought leader to review new cancer information at American Society of Clinical Oncology University and has been mentioned as a cancer expert in popular news media including Yahoo [12] and Business wire.[13] In January 2018, he gave a live oral presentation to improve medical education for medical professionals titled "Designing Continuing Professional Development that improves patients care: Insights from a Practicing Oncologist" at the annual Alliance for Continuing Education meeting in Orlando, Florida.[14][15]

He is a practicing physician at HMH Cancer Care Center and a physician member of the molecular tumor board at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center.[16] Park is triple-board-certified in internal medicine, hematology and oncology.[17]

Park 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.[18] He also volunteers on the editorial board of Journal of Hospital Practice and helps select cancer journal articles for hospital physicians.[19]

Journalism

Park writes medical columns for Medscape[20] and Doximity Op(m)ed.[21] He writes articles on medical education and cancer news. His medical education writings include The Hidden Curriculum: How to Avoid Being Labeled a Problem Resident.[22] He has also written cancer news at the American Society of Clinical Oncology and American Society of Hematology annual meetings.[23][24]

Education

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.[25]

During his medical training, Park served on various academic committees including medical school admissions, residency selection, and residency review. He also provides advice on how to get into medical school for pre-medical students at U.S. News & World Report[4] and gives medical students advice on what do after medical school at Medscape.[7]

Research

Park has participated in multiple cancer clinical trials in lung, melanoma, thyroid, and bone marrow transplant.

Park has written cancer papers about PET/CT and regional brain metabolic changes associated with depression in metastatic breast cancer,[26] Sorfenib and Thyroid Cancer,[27] Pemetrexed based chemotherapy in Lung Cancer,[28] Atypical Neurolymphomatosis,[29] Metformin use and Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant,[30] and Cancer Prevention Month: Decreased Cancer Rates[31]

Park's medical research also included the groundbreaking 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.[32] The patented 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,[33] He has also studied the effect of nicotine on bone arteriole blood flow.[34]

Public speaking

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.[35] Radiological Society of North America is the world's largest medical society meeting, drawing 60,000 physicians, nurses, and physicists every year.[36]

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.[15]
