Jane S. Chung

Jane S. Chung, M.D. serves as a sports medicine physician at Scottish Rite for Children Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center in Frisco, Texas, with academic affiliation to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center's School of Medicine within the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Board-certified in pediatric medicine and sports medicine, she specializes in musculoskeletal injuries affecting young athletes' sports participation.

Her educational pathway includes:

• Medical Degree: St. George's University School of Medicine
• Residency: Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center - New Orleans Children's Hospital (Pediatrics)
• Fellowship: Case Medical Center and University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital (Pediatric Sports Medicine)

Dr. Chung's research centers on female athlete health, particularly the Female Athlete Triad, under-fueling risks, and stress fracture prevention. As an active member of the Female and Male Athlete Triad Coalition, she develops community education programs for healthcare professionals on energy deficiency disorders. Her clinical focus bridges dance medicine (leveraging her background as a former dancer) with evidence-based pediatric sports care.

Analysis of her 12 publications (2012-2022) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) concussion assessment/recovery metrics using balance testing and sleep quality correlations, (2) sex-specific injury patterns in basketball/soccer with emphasis on breast size barriers and triad syndromes, and (3) outcomes measurement through electronic PRO systems. Her work consistently addresses gaps in pediatric sports medicine through registry data, case reports, and epidemiological studies.

Professional engagement includes ongoing contributions to the Female and Male Athlete Triad Coalition, where she shapes clinical guidelines and community education initiatives regarding athlete energy availability and bone health.
