Matthew Jung, MD, FACP

Dr. Matthew Jung serves as the Physician and Director, Preventative Medicine at the Ellison Medical Institute. In this role, he leads a multidisciplinary team to deliver comprehensive preventive care, cancer survivorship services, and chronic disease management. A strong advocate for shared decision‑making, he emphasizes patient education and lifestyle modification to help people prevent disease and live longer, healthier lives.

Before joining the Institute, Dr. Jung practiced internal medicine and primary care at Keck Medicine of USC and served on the faculty of the Keck School of Medicine. At USC, he was a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, where he championed evidence‑based clinical workflows and supervised quality‑improvement projects. His care philosophy—rooted in combining “high‑quality evidence‑based medical decision making” with “patient‑centered care”—earned him recognition as a thoughtful clinician and teacher. In addition to caring for patients, he chaired the Virtual Care committee, participated in ambulatory quality initiatives, and taught medical students and residents. His expertise includes preventive care, chronic disease management, and geriatric medicine, and he is board‑certified in both internal medicine and geriatric medicine.

Dr. Jung’s education reflects his dedication to lifelong learning. He completed his medical degree at SUNY Upstate Medical University, followed by an Internal Medicine residency at St. Luke’s–Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City. He went on to complete fellowship training in Geriatric Medicine at the same institution in association with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He later served as the Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Director for the USC / LA General program.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Jung is a proud father who enjoys playing baseball with his son, cooking with his daughter, and exploring life with his wife. Having spent the past two decades in the United States, he retains a hint of his Canadian accent. His colleagues describe him as compassionate, intellectually curious, and committed to transforming patient care through collaboration and innovation.
