Ling Chu, M.D.
Assistant Professor

Dr. Chu is originally from Colorado and received her medical training at the University of Colorado. She is board certified in Internal Medicine and specializes in ambulatory primary care.  She has worked in a large HMO in Colorado for many years.  She then went on to get additional training in electronic health records and became board certified in clinical informatics.  Drawn by the opportunity for the harmonious integration of clinical medicine, education and advanced medical informatics, she relocated to UT Southwestern.  She hopes to bring her years of experience in both clinical adult primary care and informatics to UT Southwestern to help elevate them to the next level.   Her clinical practice emphasizes patient and family-centered care. Dr. Chu’s interests outside of medicine include her family, cooking, reading, and the great outdoors.
