Bio
After finishing her residency at CHKD, Dr. Shum decided to join the CHKD team as a hospitalist. With a strong interest in allergies and immunology, Dr. Shum says she finds working in hospital medicine rewarding because it’s a privilege to take care of children who need inpatient care.
Originally from Nebraska, Dr. Shum considers herself a true Midwesterner at heart. Despite growing up in a landlocked state, she has discovered a love for sailing since moving to Norfolk. Dr. Shum has a passion for adventure and learning new things whether it’s climbing, hiking, gardening, a foreign language, or a new instrument.
