In addition to his inpatient clinical work — primarily at Memorial Hermann in the Texas Medical Center — Dr. Chong actively mentors both pediatric and internal medicine residents. As Med-Peds core faculty since 2023, he is involved in resident wellness, board review, and journal club for the program.
