Professional Bio
Alexander Dragnich, MD, is a Clinical Fellow in the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
His research interests include health services investigation to optimize delivery of post-lung transplant care as patients transfer from the acute care to outpatient setting; exploring what features of the transplant process place patients at greater risk for neurocognitive dysfunction post operatively, and how we identify/intervene on those issues as early as possible.
Dr. Dragnich chose VUMC for fellowship in order to join a division that would provide exceptional clinical and research training in all areas of critical care and pulmonary medicine. It was very important to develop robust procedural experience from airway management to pleural procedures and bronchoscopy, while also getting extensive clinical education in both general and subspecialized pulmonary medicine.
He hopes to pursue lung transplant as an area of expertise, and the rapid growth of the transplant program at Vanderbilt makes for an exciting environment to think about the best ways to deliver care to those patients.
