Background

Dr. Sung-Min Cho joined the Johns Hopkins Division of Neuroscience Critical Care in 2019 as a faculty. Dr. Cho specializes in neurointensive care and neurology. He is experienced in neurological critical care, cerebrovascular disease, adult neurology, and acute brain injury.

His training began at the Cleveland Clinic, where he was a resident in neurology from 2013-2017. He finished his neurocritical care fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University/Hospital in 2019. Then, he joined the Johns Hopkins in 2019 as a faculty.

He studied physics in the Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. He earned his bachelor of science degree in physics from the University of Cincinnati. He then received his medical degree from the Ohio University in 2013. Additionally, he earned the Master of Health Science (MHS) in the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University.

Dr. Cho's research interests include neurologic outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, cardiac arrest, infective endocarditis, cardiac surgery, and mechanical circulatory support devices such as LVAD and ECMO.
