Lily Yan is a resident physician in the preventive medicine - internal medicine program at Boston Medical Center, and a Masters of Science candidate in Health Services and Systems Research program at the Boston University School of Public Health. She studied Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale University, and obtained her medical degree from Stanford University. In medical school, she worked in Cambodia on emergency chief complaints, and in Nepal in a pediatric ward. She was a Doris Duke International Clinical Research Fellow at CIDRZ in Lusaka, Zambia working in rural primary care clinics, on hypertension and contraception. Her research interests include global health and primary care, creating and measuring quality in healthcare, and noncommunicable diseases, particularly in low and middle income countries. She is interested in how to horizontally strengthen primary care to allow improved outcomes across disease conditions.
