Biography

Professional Background

Dr. Ching graduated from the University of Rochester with a degree in Health and Society and English Literature. Early admission to the University of Rochester School of Medicine meant that she could spend her senior year studying English Literature in Bath and Oxford, England. Her interests in Medical Humanities led naturally to Palliative Care and Ethics after Internal Medicine Residency. She became Board Certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine in 2012, currently practices Palliative Care full time on the Inpatient Palliative Care service at Highland Hospital, and became Medical Director for the group in 2018.
