Current Fellow - Hospice and Palliative Care Fellowship
Linda Youn, DO
I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington where I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Washington. After a few years working as a program manager, I decided to pursue a career in medicine. I went to Kansas City, Missouri for medical school at the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. I completed internal medicine residency at St. Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I am excited to continue my medical training in Hospice and Palliative Care at Ochsner.
