Abby Sung, MD

Abby is an assistant professor of medicine. She completed medical school, residency and an infectious diseases fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Dr. Sung’s research/interest focuses on hospital epidemiology, mentored by Dr. Kwon, and the history of medicine. Highlights of her fellowship training include: “presenting my medical plans in hyperbole and having my colleagues all understand me (and maybe correct them to euphemisms).”

“I chose WUSM for fellowship training because of: the flexibility in career paths (very accommodating for people who don’t know what specific realm of ID they want to pursue), the abundant research opportunities, the awesome people, being able to walk to work, the giant hospital with its wide array of disease pathology and large referral radius.”

My favorite things to do in St. Louis are normal people things like eating, meandering around to the various free things that are available (like the zoo, I also really like the botanical gardens), and being beckoned by Forest Park to at least try to jog regularly. My actual hobby is Animal Crossing.

Dr. Sung will be working with hospital epidemiology, outpatient infection prevention, occupational health, and medical education
