My solid knowledge base, built through medical school at Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science & Technology, a PhD from the University of Paris, a residency at New York Medical College, and a fellowship at Harvard University, along with my strong medical research background, has enhanced my clinical skills and allows me to pursue my commitment to providing comprehensive care.
