Irene Wang, MD, completed her undergraduate education at the University of the Pacific and earned her medical degree from Taipei Medical University. During her time there, she became captivated by the integration of Western medicine with Chinese medicine practices. Inspired by the blend of these approaches, Irene advocates for preventive care strategies that incorporate Chinese medicine. After returning to her native California, she completed her residency in Family Medicine at UCR, where she served as both chief resident and wellness champion. Motivated by the balanced approach to healthcare she experienced in Taiwan, Irene sought opportunities at UCLA’s East-West Medicine Department to further explore the integration of traditional Chinese medicine into daily life for preventive health. Her passions include comprehensive holistic patient care and lifelong learning. Outside of medicine, she enjoys tennis, cooking, practicing tea ceremonies, and traveling to satisfy her wanderlust.

Jade March, MD is originally from Kingston, Jamaica, and was raised between South Florida and Jamaica. She moved to Los Angeles for her undergraduate studies at UCLA, where she earned a B.S. degree in Psychobiology, and continued at UCLA for medical school. She completed her intern year in General Surgery and then returned to UCLA for her residency in Family Medicine, where she is now board certified.

Dr. March became intrigued by the Department of East-West Medicine during her residency, quickly recognizing that its mission aligned with her own. She values the holistic approach to medicine that addresses both outward symptoms and the underlying root causes. She is passionate about ensuring that evidence and safety are integral to all recommendations, consistent with the clinical practice of the Department of East-West Medicine.

During her residency, Dr. March completed both in-person and online courses in Integrative Medicine, including those through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, as well as UCLA. She served as president of her residency's Global Health track and participated in a Global Health trip to Jamaica during her final year, where she applied both Eastern and Western approaches to treatment and education.

In addition to Integrative Medicine, Dr. March's professional interests include primary care procedures, Global Health, and medical outreach. Outside of medicine, she enjoys spending time with her family and practicing her faith.

Emily Chang, MD, is an Integrative Medicine fellow and clinical instructor at the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine. She completed her undergraduate studies at Brown University, majoring in Ethnic Studies and Health and Human Biology. Emily earned her medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, where she was introduced to East-West Medicine. Her exposure to Traditional Chinese Medicine and therapies such as trigger point injections and acupuncture significantly shaped her approach to treating complex medical conditions and chronic pain.

Emily completed her residency at UCLA in the Internal Medicine VA/Santa Monica Primary Care Track. During her residency, she furthered her interest in East-West Medicine and participated in a global health elective in Thailand, where she studied Thai Traditional Medicine.

Passionate about making integrative medicine more accessible, Emily is dedicated to developing community partnerships and expanding the reach of holistic healthcare. She aims to bridge the gap between conventional and alternative medicine in primary care, ensuring that comprehensive, patient-centered care is available to all. Outside of medicine, Emily enjoys traveling, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends. 

Hobart Leung, MD, is a Community Track Fellow at the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine. Growing up in Toronto, Canada, he developed an early interest in Eastern medicine through his father, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hobbyist.

Dr. Leung earned his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine and completed his Internal Medicine residency at Rochester General Hospital in Rochester, NY. He further specialized in Hospice & Palliative Medicine at the University of Rochester (Strong Memorial Hospital).

Since completing his medical training, Dr. Leung has focused on serving as a Primary Care Internist in underserved community clinics. His commitment to exploring diverse treatment options led him to pursue training in Clinical Hypnosis, and he is currently working towards certification with the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Dr. Leung is dedicated to expanding his therapeutic toolkit to provide comprehensive care to patients from all backgrounds, especially those in underserved communities.
