Sezzy Yun, MD

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to serving the community that I love and grew up with. Born and raised in Queens, I was surrounded by a vibrant melting pot of cultures, languages, traditions, and communities, which have profoundly shaped who I am today. My journey into emergency medicine has been driven by a desire to give back to this city and its residents, addressing the challenges posed by diverse backgrounds, healthcare disparities, and access to quality care.

I specialize in emergency medicine, with extensive training and experience in efficiently assessing, diagnosing, and managing a wide range of medical conditions, from minor injuries to life-threatening illnesses. Additionally, I have a special interest in simulation medicine and education, where I lead transformative training sessions that enhance the skills of healthcare professionals through realistic, high-stakes scenarios.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that each patient receives compassionate, individualized care. I understand that visits to the emergency department can be overwhelming, and I strive to deliver a caliber of care that I would want for my own family member. I collaborate with specialists to provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring a seamless and coordinated experience at NYU Langone.

My journey into medicine began before attending medical school when I volunteered for several summers at my local emergency department. Inspired by the incredible care and treatment delivered, I obtained my Emergency Medical Technician license and worked on the front lines of healthcare with my community volunteer ambulance corps. This deepened my passion for emergency medicine and ultimately guided me to choose it as my specialty. I find great fulfillment in leading simulation training and fostering growth and learning at all levels of training, from students to attending physicians.
