STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Jenny Hong, MPS BMHI Student
“The student body is diverse, with colleagues from different countries, specialties, and disciplines. This diversity is invaluable, as it broadens my perspective and allows me to consider how solutions designed for one healthcare system could adapt to others globally. It challenges me to think beyond local contexts, ensuring that the solutions I work on are versatile, inclusive, and adaptable for a wide range of healthcare settings.” – Hong
