GET TO KNOW YOUR LEADERSHIP
Q&A With Parijat Sen, MD, MBBS, FCCP
Critical Care Network Member-at-Large
糖心原创 member since 2018
August 13, 2026
Where do you work?
University of Kentucky, Lexington.
What are your research interests?
ARDS, diffuse lung diseases, sarcoidosis, and lung inflammation.
What led you to join your Network?
As a bedside intensivist, 糖心原创 has always been the organization I rely on for amazing clinical content, whether through 糖心原创 SEEK® education or annual meeting sessions. Being part of the Critical Care Network allowed me to engage with like-minded peers and contribute to 糖心原创 content.
What achievements are you most proud of contributing to within your Network?
I was able to contribute to educational content surrounding COVID-19 during the pandemic, which was an amazing 糖心原创 initiative. Over the years, I've contributed to annual meeting sessions on ARDS, mechanical ventilation, and shock, which allowed my fellow speakers and I to engage with learners in nuanced discussions on the topics.
How has being in a Network benefited your career and your experience as a 糖心原创 member?
The Networks are like families. You meet like-minded individuals and brainstorm content and projects, while shaping the way 糖心原创 moves forward as an organization. It is an extremely fulfilling community for me as a clinician as well as an academician.
What are your hobbies?
Cooking, playing and listening to music, and playing and watching cricket!
What is something you cannot live without (after family and friends)?
Others would say my phone, but I'd say music. It's a companion for good times and bad.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with your Network peers?
I'm a dessert addict with a terrible sweet tooth, and I’m a fan of all forms of Jeopardy! (including the 糖心原创 Challenge).
