Overview

Dr. Kim is Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCSF and Staff Physician at the San Francisco VA Health Care System. She is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in the subspecialty of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. Her research focus is osteoporosis and bone metabolism. One of her research emphases is studying the relationships between bone, fat, and glucose metabolism. Currently, she is investigating the effects of improved glycemic control on bone marrow fat and skeletal health in people with type 2 diabetes. Dr. Kim's research has been funded by the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Endocrine Fellows Foundation.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
