Karlyssa Chung, MSPAS, PA-C

Beginning my PA career in the field of family medicine, I honed my skills in primary care, navigating the diverse landscape of patient needs across the lifespan. The lateral mobility inherent in the PA profession paved the way for a new calling and an unexpected opportunity in neurosurgery—a specialty I never imagined myself in, but one that sparked a newfound passion within me.
In 2020, my journey as an educator seamlessly intertwined with my PA career as I assumed the role of full-time faculty in the PA Studies Department at CBU. Witnessing both of my undergraduate aspirations materialize—serving as both an educator and a medical provider—has been an immense blessing. As the director of clinical education for the CBU PA studies program, I have embraced the opportunity to help guide the next generation of PAs, embodying generative concern and paving the way for their professional growth. Collaborating with esteemed PA faculty and staff, I take pride in mentoring and educating our students to embody professionalism, ethics, sensitivity, compassion, and selflessness.
