Dr. Chan completed her residency in pediatrics at the NewYork Presbyterian Hospital – Weill Cornell Medicine, and fellowship in Allergy/Immunology at the NewYork Presbyterian Hospital – Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

She is actively involved in clinical research on different allergic and immunologic conditions in adults and children and is the author of over a dozen papers and posters accepted for publication and/or presentations at webinars and national conferences.
