A/Prof Kyle B. Enfield

Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Virginia

It is difficult to explain to many what I do, so I have started by saying that I am like a platypus full of unique features, but no one knows what to do with me. Currently serve as the Associate Chief Medical Officer for Critical Care at the University of Virginia and the Vice Chair of Patient Safety and Quality Improvement for the Department of Medicine at the University of Virginia. Before these roles, I served as the Associate Hospital Epidemiologist and Medical Director for the Medical Intensive Care Unit and Special Pathogens Unit. My background is in Pulmonary and Critical Care as well as Epidemiology. My research interests are improving population outcomes in Hospital Settings, mainly through the lens of information overload. Outside of my work, I am an avid runner and optical course racer (there is even a photo of me in Trail Runner years ago as an advertisement for Spartan Race). I am also an active volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America, specifically supporting the development of troops for Girls, DEI, and summer camp programs in my local council. Mostly though I am a father, human, and well a platypus.

Many people are tired of grappling with long COVID – here are some evidence-based ways to counter it

A patient of mine, once a marathon runner, now gets tired just walking around the block. She developed COVID-19 during the 2020 Christmas holiday and saw me during the summer of 2021.
