Dr. Kristin L. Long is a fellowship-trained endocrine surgeon at the University of Wisconsin (UW) School of Medicine and Public Health with a special interest in Global Surgery. Dr. Long plays an essential role in the training of medical students, residents, and fellows at UW and serves as a key member of the medical school admissions committee. She completed her undergraduate degree cum laude in Chemistry at Southern Methodist University and earned her medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center before completing her residency in general surgery at the University of Kentucky. She then completed a fellowship in endocrine surgery at the renowned University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. She also has a graduate certificate in Clinical and Translational Sciences from the University of Kentucky.

Since joining the faculty at UW, Dr. Long has obtained a Masters in Public Health degree with a focus on global health and been awarded a visiting professorship to the West African College of Surgeons by the Association of Academic Surgery (AAS) in 2019.  She also received the “Real.
