Education

Born in Italy and raised in California, Stefan Masselink has had a global view from a young age. A medical mission trip in high school highlighted medicine’s fundamentally altruistic nature. Now, Stefan is enrolled in the health policy and economics track of the MS in Healthcare Policy and Research program at WCM. He hopes to better understand healthcare as a driver of research and innovation, a stage for political reform, and one of the country’s largest industries.

Ying Li's passion for exploring diseases and potential new treatments attracted her to graduate school. WCM's capstone project, comprehensive hands-on training, cohort diversity, and close collaboration with local hospitals and medical centers ultimately brought her to the biostatistics and data science track of the MS in Healthcare Policy and Research program.

Anni Liu imagined dedicating her life’s work to music from an early age. That changed when her university violin mentor suggested the benefits of learning more about the sciences. Now, Anni is set to complete Weill Cornell Medicine’s MS in Healthcare Policy and Research program as part of the class of 2022.

Enrolling in Weill Cornell Medicine’s MS in Healthcare Policy and Research program was anything but an arbitrary decision for Arwa AlHilal (’22). While growing up, she realized that healthcare quality varies tremendously across populations. As a result, she has committed her career to driving healthcare reform and improving access to quality care. The health policy and economics track is helping her achieve even more.
