FOCUS: Patient safety and quality improvement

Dr. Lorinc is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. After completing medical school at the Medical College of Georgia, she completed her residency training in Anesthesiology followed by a fellowship in Pediatric Anesthesiology at Vanderbilt University. While in training, Dr. Lorinc became a B.H. Robbins scholar, performing basic science research on the hERG channel and its effect on cardiac electrophysiology. This work led to the prestigious AUA Resident Travel Award in May 2012. She joined the faculty in the Department of Anesthesiology in 2012 and practices at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Her professional interests include patient safety and quality improvement.
