Yuhan Wang, a 2024 graduate of the Master of Science in Global Health program at Duke Kunshan University (DKU), now works in the Office of International Cooperation and Exchange at Shanghai General Hospital – a leading teaching hospital in China. Her journey from DKU to this top public hospital marked a two-year transformation — not just academically, but personally. From entering graduate school with a sense of uncertainty to eventually finding her professional path in a public hospital, the experience was as much about self-discovery as it was about scholarship.

Ms. Zhangyang Pan is a 2024 graduate of the Master of Science in Global Health program at Duke Kunshan University (DKU). A mother of a four-year-old, former journalist, and seasoned corporate communicator, she brings over a decade of experience in corporate communications and public affairs at multinational pharmaceutical companies. While many of her peers pursued MBA programs to advance their careers, she chose to step into the field of global health—marking a bold transition into the second chapter of her professional journey.

“In the two years of my global health education at Duke Kunshan University, I traveled across three continents and five countries. This journey enriched my knowledge, exposed me to diverse cultures, and helped me discover and improve myself. Every place I visited and every person I met provided me with new perspectives and insights. Health is a complex and multifaceted issue, and I hope to use what I have learned to advance global health and ensure health for all.”
