Sarah Kiel attended medical school at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. She completed her internal medicine residency at the University of Minnesota, followed by a Chief Residency. She subsequently trained at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for her pulmonary and critical care fellowship with an emphasis on lung transplant and cystic fibrosis. She happily returned to the University of Minnesota's excellent center for CF and lung transplant care in 2020 at the height of the COVID pandemic. She is currently the Co-Director of the University of Minnesota’s Adult Cystic Fibrosis Center and the Hertz Adult Lung Transplant Fellowship program director. Her research interests include quality improvement in lung transplant care as well as the care of the adult person with cystic fibrosis in the era of highly effective modulator therapy. In her spare time, of which she is still looking for, she is often found wrangling her two young children and spending time with her husband, knitting/crocheting, reading, and contemplating cat ownership.
