Chandler Park is an American physician, medical writer, and clinical researcher. He helped pioneer the use of pressure relieving viscoelastic pads on MRI tables to improve patient care.[1] Park is the founder of Cancervisit® to help cancer patients and their families.[2]

Park is currently a medical school professor for the University of Louisville School of Medicine and a practicing board certified medical physician that specializes in hematology and oncology.

Education

Park received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Biochemistry from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine. He also acquired medical science research training at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky and received a master's degree in science in Biophysics.

After his medical school and graduate school research training, Park served his surgery transitional internship at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. Next, he completed his residency (medicine) training in diagnostic radiology and internal medicine at IU Medical Center. Afterwards he finished subspecialist medical training in Hematology and Oncology at WVU Cancer Institute and received additional medical training as a visiting fellow at University of Pittsburgh in cancer immunotherapy.[3]

During his medical training, Park served on various academic committees including medical school admissions, residency selection, and residency review. He has also participated in multiple cancer clinical trials in lung, melanoma, thyroid, and bone marrow transplant.

Research

Park is an accomplished medical author having written many scientific research articles and manuscripts in leading medical journals.

Park has written cancer papers about PET/CT and regional brain metabolic changes associated with depression in metastatic breast cancer,[4] Sorfenib and Thyroid Cancer,[5] Pemetrexed based chemotherapy in Lung Cancer,[6] Atypical Neurolymphomatosis,[7] Metformin use and Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant,[8] and Cancer Prevention Month: Decreased Cancer Rates[9]

Park's medical research also included the groundbreaking MRI study that used viscoelastic pads to improve patient care during MRI studies. His research group developed the patented viscoelastic pads used by many of the current MRI tables.[10] The patented viscoelastic pads decrease ischemia, pain, and discomfort for patients undergoing MRI studies. His MRI research led to improved quality of the MRI imaging studies to improve patient care,[11] He has also studied the effect of nicotine on bone arteriole blood flow [12]

Public speaking

After his landmark MRI study was published, Park has been a live public speaker at large medical society meetings including American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, and Radiological Society of North America.[13] Radiological Society of North America is the world's largest medical society meeting, drawing 60,000 physicians, nurses, and physicists every year.[14]
