Annie Yu

Class of 2027

Annie Yu is a psychiatry resident doctor in Toronto. She grew up between mainland China and the West Coast of Canada before obtaining her bachelor of health sciences degree from McMaster University in Hamilton and her medical degree from the University of Toronto. She co-founded Palette, the arts and culture magazine at the UofT Faculty of Medicine, and has published on physician suicide in The Canadian Medical Association Journal. As she nears the end of her formal medical training, she reflects on how she has always felt empowered by the way squiggly shapes on a page can have such enormous impact on a reader, and she looks forward to immersing herself in the crafts of writing and journalism.
