Dr Christine Cheong

Dr Christine Cheong grew up in Malaysia and had two years of pre-med training there; then subsequently completed her medical degree, early medical career and specialist training all within Tasmania. She worked across North West Regional Hospital in Burnie and Royal Hobart Hospital before eventually pursuing GP training. She attained her Fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 2023.
