Dr. Lee is a clinician-researcher interested in the evaluation and advancement of new models of primary care. Her interests in health services research began in medical school and internal medicine residency at the Cleveland Clinic. She completed an additional three years of training in health services research and innovation at the University of Pennsylvania with the National Clinician Scholars Program, formerly the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program. She has broad foundational training in biostatistics, causal inference, qualitative research, and cost effectiveness analysis. Specific areas of interest include hypertension and chronic disease management within primary care, as well as the incorporation of advanced technologies in a manner that makes sense for patients and providers. She is excited to further develop her research skills and agenda at OSU and looks forward to interdisciplinary collaborations to redesign the way we experience and deliver health care.
