Student Voice - Tsui Yat Yan Larissa

After graduating from the HKU MBBS program, I worked as a medical resident with the Hospital Authority before transitioning to a public health career in the government. My experience of serving the elderly and underprivileged in public hospitals highlighted the importance of disease prevention and efficient healthcare resource allocation for quality care across society.

I am interested in the Master of Public Health offered by the University of Hong Kong due to its accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health and the systemic approach to learning, which I have had first-hand experience during my undergraduate program. My interest in the Health Economics, Policy, and Management concentration of the HKU MPH program stems from my desire to apply economic methods to improve equity and efficiency in healthcare resource distribution.

I am honored to have received the UGC Targeted TPg Fellowships for my MPH studies and feel a responsibility to equip myself for future service to the city. I have enjoyed connecting with classmates from diverse professional backgrounds and countries, united by our shared vision and passion for public health. Upon completing the MPH program, I am excited to apply my knowledge and skills to promote healthy aging and deliver quality care to the underprivileged in Hong Kong.
