Shu-Fen Wung, ANP, PhD, RN

Dr. Wung joins TLC with impressive academic credentials. She is currently an Associate Professor, University of Arizona, College of Nursing. In her academic role, Dr. Wung is conducting cardiovascular clinical research. During her training, Dr. Wung completed clinical rotations in cardiology and intensive care/internal medicine. She earned her Acute Care NP degree and her PhD. Degree from the University of California–San Francisco. She has presented often on cardiac care issues and is published in a number of journals and publications.
