| Jessica Chung grew up in a suburb west of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, and went to undergrad at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
majoring in Medical Microbiology & Immunology and minoring in
African Studies. While
studying abroad in Uganda, she become interested
in the need for robust health prevention strategies and then pursued
her MPH at Boston University. After her time in Boston, Jessica went to
work for the CDC in Nigeria and China,
improving care for people living with HIV/AIDS.
She found herself wanting to bridge public health concepts with clinical
care, especially for women in underserved communities, which led her
back to the Badgers for medical school.
Her desire to continue improving care for women
globally grew at UWSMPH into the desire to pursue OBGYN as a specialty.
When looking for residencies and her new home, Jessica looked for a
program that had a deep sense of community,
camaraderie, and support along with a strong
academic education that prepares residents for any fellowship or general
practice. She was delighted when she found that and much more at UVM,
so she traded one snowy place for another.
When she’s not at the hospital, she enjoys
running, boxing, baking, and cultivating her indoor plant jungle.
