Yu Hsiang J. Lo, MD

Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellow
University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

Yu Hsiang Johnny Lo, MD is a pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellow at University of Michigan - Michigan Medicine. He is an early career researcher interested in utilizing large and diverse databases to reduce practice pattern variations for children across the acute care continuum. Throughout Johnny's residency and fellowship, he has been drawn to caring for young infants with serious bacterial infections, and improving diagnoses of these and other critical diseases. He is currently involved in a cross-sectional study using the Pediatric Health Information Systems database to demonstrate the care variation in the management of young infants presenting in the Emergency Department with hypothermia. Building on the connections and results from this project, Johnny participated as a multisite study co-investigator on young hypothermic infants, evaluating for temperature threshold to detect SBI, co-existing conditions, and clinical risk factors for SBI. In addition, he is also a co-investigator on a medcal education project on the creation of PED-specific micro-lectures through an institutional CME grant. While he currently does not have any national grants, Johnny intends on graduating fellowship with the skills to be an independently funded PEM researcher, capable of managing multi-center studies and analyzing large datasets, with the eventual goal of standardizing care for sick children presenting in all emergent settings.
