Cynthia Wu obtained her Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm), then further completed her Master of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

Before joining HKU, she was the Pharmacy Deputy In-charge at the Lok Sin Tong Mr. & Mrs. Lee Yin Yee Community Pharmacy. She has trained more than 30 new pharmacists, dispensers and pharmacy students in total, under the BPharm Clerkship and Pharmacy Experential Education Programme for Year 2 to 4 students. Being invited as a guest lecturer for the BPharm programme, she also integrated pharmacy practice into her delivery of a new lecture to the Year 2 students, Cosmetic Products in the Community Pharmacy.

With her experience in running a non-profit making community pharmacy and her passion in teaching, Cynthia has lead her team of pharmacy student assistants in establishing the very first university campus teaching community pharmacy, HKUMed Community Pharmacy. The pharmacy is located on the Sassoon Road campus as an on-site teaching community pharmacy. Not only is it the dedicated teaching site for pharmacy students, but is also an in-house training site for interprofessional education programme with other curricula under the LKS Faculty of Medicine. Collaborating with healthcare professionals from the HKU Health System Clinical Centre, Cynthia will be building innovative interdisciplinary service models to pioneer primary healthcare teaching and research at the HKU.
