Biography

Dr. Lee is a pediatric epidemiology and health systems researcher with additional experience in integrating and applying health services, policy, implementation science and spatial epidemiology methodologies to large datasets to address critical health issues for military family health. She joined the USU Department of Pediatrics in 2022 as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Health Systems Research and Clinical Epidemiology. Prior to this, she led the Army's U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief multi-million dollar HIV research, surveillance and evaluation portfolio that addressed pressing service delivery questions for African partner militaries. Dr. Lee currently collaborates with the Center for Health Services Research as co-PI on a study evaluating fetal alcohol spectrum disorders in the military health system, the U.S. Military HIV Research Program at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research as PI on a program evaluation of COVID-19 infection prevention and control in the Nigerian military hospital setting, and Department of Pediatrics colleagues on a study of COVID-19 impacts on patient outcomes and health services. Dr. Lee is particularly interested in mother-infant dyad health and quality of care, the inpatient experience, and infectious disease prevention.
