Misun (Josephine) Jung, MD
Pediatric Chief Resident
Medical School: Univ. of Texas Southwestern
Undergrad: Yale University
A bit about me: I moved around a lot as a child (mostly Florida, some Korea, stint in NJ) and was really good at being the ’new kid’ AKA weird. I then spent 5 unforgettable years at Yale (Rob was there too, HAAY), then went down south to UT Southwestern in Dallas for med school. After spending the last 3 years in Chicago- working, eating, playing (not always in that order)- I’m pretty sure the windy city has captured my soul. My joys in life include: jam sessions, dancing at the annual HOLIDAY PARTY (or any classy event), chamber music, and belly laughing with kindred spirits. I am still somewhat undecided about my future career, but hope to keep medical education a part of whatever I end up pursuing!
Miki Nishitani, MD
Pediatric Chief Resident
Medical School: Virginia Commonwealth University
UnderGrad: Duke University
I’m originally from the East Coast and will forever bleed Duke Blue, but Chicago has quickly become my new home since I moved here just a few years ago. Since arriving here, I’ve explored various parts of the city and currently reside in Lincoln Park with my dog, Cooper. I have absolutely loved both living and working here in Chicago, and it’s my plan to make sure you feel the same way! After chief year, I will be pursuing a fellowship in hematology/oncology. Ultimately, I hope to merge my passion for advancing cures for childhood cancers, with my dedication to medical education.
Robert Sanchez, MD
Pediatric Chief Resident
Medical School: University of Chicago
UnderGrad: Yale University
I'm originally from San Antonio, TX, but have called Chicago home for the past 8 years. I was initially drawn here for medical school, and was so happy to stick around to complete my residency in Medicine & Pediatrics. I have really loved living in Chicago and taking advantage of all of its great opportunities. When I'm not in the hospital, I enjoy playing guitar and drums, playing intramural soccer, and hanging out in the Hyde Park & Woodlawn area. After chief year, I plan to pursue fellowship in Pediatric Critical Care where I hope to continue my dedication to medical education and working with children and young adults with disabilities.
