Dr. Justine Ly was born and raised in the Chicagoland area and is the daughter of Chinese-Vietnamese refugees. She ventured to Cleveland to receive her undergraduate degree in Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Ly returned home for medical school at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. During medical school, she took time off to be a product manager at a medical start-up company working on remote patient monitoring for heart failure patients. Her medical interests include full-spectrum medicine and addressing healthcare inequity in underserved populations. She chose the University of Utah because of the supportive faculty and residents, the unique opportunity to work with a large refugee population, and the culture of openness towards innovation in healthcare delivery. When she’s not in the hospital, Dr. Ly enjoys snowboarding, hiking, reading, and rooting for the Chicago Bulls.
