Dr. King joined the Tulane University Medical School faculty in 2009 after completion of her fellowship in Medical Education at NYU.  She is an academic hospitalist.  From 2009 to 2015 Dr. King also served as the internal medicine resident clinic director at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System (SVLHCS).  As clinic director, she oversaw the implementation of clinic schedule changes to dramatically improve trainee continuity with their primary care patients and implemented the inclusion of object performance information into trainee feedback.  In 2014 Dr. King was selected as the Assistant Chief of the Medicine Service at SLVHCS, and in this role she helps to lead a team of 140 FTEE providing inpatient, outpatient, and procedural care for the 50,000+ veterans in southeastern Louisiana.  She was actively involved in the activation of the VA’s replacement hospital facility here in New Orleans.

In addition to her clinical work and medical leadership, Dr. King is heavily involved in clinical informatics.  She lead the facility-level team that prepared the digital infrastructure and the electronic medical record (EMR) for the activation of the new VA facility. She is the Associate Chief of Staff for Clinical Informatics and leads the Informatics Council and Medical Record Committee at SLVHCS.  Because of her expertise in informatics, she is heavily involved in quality assurance, quality improvement, and system redesign.

Dr. King was born in Alabama and raised in Georgia.  She loves New Orleans and feels grateful to call this vibrant, venerable, witchy city home.  When not working, she can be found enjoying tomatoes, books, plants, and escape rooms.
