Jacky Kim Chun, PA, always wanted to pursue a career that would enable her to give back to the community in some way. Before graduating from high school, she had the opportunity to go on a mission trip with a group from her church to a village in Thailand. Seeing health challenges and disparities firsthand motivated her to go into medicine. Today, Jacky is a certified physician assistant (PA), and in her prior role as a hospitalist PA-C, she treated many patients with acute and chronic GI issues.
