YING LIU

Executive Director

Ying is a first-year medical student at New York Medical College. She has lived in the city for nearly all her life, and studied at New York University for her undergraduate studies. Her work with diverse, marginalized populations in NYC has inspired her to be a healthcare advocate for the underserved. She hopes to learn more about how medicine plays a role in the process of applying for asylum and how physicians can exercise their unique power to advocate for those who do not feel they are in the position to speak for themselves. In her role as Director of NYMC CHR, Ying hopes that she can create an inspiring, productive space where students and physicians can make a difference in asylum medicine, as well as serve as a resource for students who have aspirations to go further in their advocacy.
