Biography

Julie J. Lee is a Clinical Informatics Fellow at Stanford University. She holds a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Columbia University, an MPH in Chronic Disease Epidemiology from Yale University, an MD with Research Honors from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and completion of Internal Medicine residency at UC Riverside. Her professional skills include quality improvement, clinical decision support, and user-centered design, interoperability, and a burgeoning interest in fair and ethical use of AI in healthcare.

Julie has substantial public health experience, spanning from medical research to broader initiatives aimed at improving population health. She collaborated with the Los Angeles Department of Public Health through the Epischolars program, studying the effects of acculturation on nutritional behaviors in Latino populations. At USC, she led and evaluated community-based seminars designed to educate substance abuse counselors on the impact of alcohol abuse on liver and pancreatic diseases. During medical school she worked with the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center to examine sex-specific drivers and mechanisms of cardiovascular disease.

At present, she is exploring the impact on health equity of an e-consult partnership between Stanford and a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). In addition, Julie has successfully implemented the integration of controlled substances report history into the electronic medical record (EMR) at Stanford Health Care, and continues to lead this project to assess effects on physician workflow and potential patient outcomes in light of the opioid crisis. Julie aims to use digital health solutions to improve healthcare access and literacy, especially for underserved and non-English preferred language (NEPL) communities. With anticipated graduation in June 2024, Julie will be starting a new role as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford School of Medicine in the division of Primary Care & Population with a focus on health equity informatics.
