Nicholas Severyn, DO

Dr. Severyn is a board-certified neonatologist, certified by the American Board of Pediatrics.

He earned his medical degree in 2016 from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine-Bradenton Campus in Bradenton, Florida, where his passion for both pediatrics and critical care medicine became cemented. He completed his residency in pediatrics at the University of Tennessee/LeBonheur Children’s Hospital in 2019 followed by a fellowship in neonatal-perinatal medicine at Indiana University/Riley Children’s Hospital where he was intimately involved in the neonatal ECMO program. He joined faculty at the University of Kentucky/Kentucky Children’s Hospital after completion of his fellowship in 2022 and quickly became engrained in the neonatal ECMO program.

In addition to his role within the neonatal ECMO program, Dr. Severyn is passionate about medical education and is very active with both undergraduate and medical students as well as residents and neonatal-perinatal fellows. He has mentored multiple trainees on a variety of ECMO related projects which have been presented at both local and national conferences and continues to be an integral part of ECMO education and simulation within Kentucky Children’s Hospital.
