("Michelle Chien 钱, 30, is a pediatrician with Heal in San Francisco")

Note:
(a) "I'm first-generation American; my parents are from Taiwan. I graduated from UCLA and * * * attended Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia for my medical degree."

For Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University

(c) At first glance I thought she did not do residency. I mean, when a person graduates from a medical school with MD, the person is 26 years old.  However, Dr Chien's resume says she did her internship and residency at UCLA Medical Center, and she is board-certified.
