My name is Jongmin Kim, MD, and I am a clinical assistant professor at the University of Florida Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. I earned my medical degree from Dankook University in Cheonan, South Korea. Following medical school, I completed an internship and residency in orthopaedic surgery at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital in Seoul, South Korea. I also completed a fellowship in hand and trauma surgery at Seoul National University Hospital followed by a fellowship in hand and reconstructive microsurgery at W Hospital in Daegu.

For two years, I volunteered in Bangladesh, where I served as a doctor to locals. I thoroughly enjoyed helping those who needed my expertise while I experienced their rich culture.

As a physician, I strive to be a place of comfort for my patients where they can share their difficulties. I chose to become a doctor because I enjoy interacting with patients and improving their quality of life. As a hand surgeon, I focus my research on exploring better options for patients suffering from nerve damage, upper extremity trauma and reconstructive surgery.

My clinical interests include bone fracture repair, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, finger pain, joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, wrist pain and wrist arthroscopy.

In my free time, I enjoy mountain climbing, jogging, playing tennis and spending time with my family and friends.
