After receiving her medical degree from University of Illinois Chicago, she completed an internal medicine residency at Tufts Medical Center in Boston and was then on staff as a hospitalist at the University of Chicago for five years.

Dr. Jun strives to provide the best care possible for every patient by understanding what is most important to them and their loved ones. She is passionate about serving the most vulnerable patients, at home and globally.

Her academic interests include global health, medical education and advance care planning.

Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
