As part of the groundbreaking project for the UW Department of Global Health and China public health, we are pleased to welcome two outstanding faculty who arrived in Seattle last week. Drs. Jiayan Huang, and Hui Yin will be at the University of Washington as faculty scholars for six months. 

"We were delighted when the China Medical Board asked us to visit several of the leading medical universities in China to explore interest in a joint program. This is a terrific win-win opportunity – a chance to lay the foundation for long-term research and education partnerships, as well as to help strengthen China's efforts in global health," says Judith Wasserheit, MD, MPH, Vice Chair of the UW Department of Global Health.

The scholars have a full schedule, observing global health classes and collaborating with faculty on research.
