Joanna Chuang

I was born and raised in Los Angeles and completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Irvine in biology. I then went on to get my medical school degree at Kansas City University, during which time I developed a strong interest in psychiatry because I enjoyed listening to people’s stories and working with marginalized populations. I completed the first three years of my training at University of Missouri and transferred residency programs for my PGY-4 year for the opportunity to care for the most psychiatrically ill on an inpatient setting and to learn to care for a more diverse patient population with all backgrounds. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going to national parks, being in nature, and cooking.
