P.D. Soros Fellowship for New Americans

YIN LI was born in Shanghai, China to parents who gave up their careers so that their only child would have greater opportunities in the U.S.

He benefited from New York City's outstanding public school system, and is thankful for the many peers and teachers who pushed him along the way.

He went on to graduate from Harvard College, completed an MD-PhD program at the University of Pennsylvania, and is currently a staff psychiatrist at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He is also a private practice psychiatrist serving clients in the greater Philadelphia area.
