She founded the Teaching Excellence Initiative at Carey Business School and serves as Executive Education faculty at the Academy for Women and Leadership. Her teaching excellence has been consistently recognized through numerous awards at both the Bloomberg School of Public Health and Carey Business School.

 

Professor Lee brings unique practical insights to her research through her experience as a Maryland court-appointed Transformative Mediator and her previous roles as in-house counsel for two major healthcare corporations and senior regulatory specialist for the nation's largest healthcare trade association. This combination of academic expertise and practical experience informs her analysis of contemporary healthcare challenges.

 

A respected voice in healthcare policy and law, Professor Lee is frequently sought out by major media outlets, including the Washington Post, CNN, CBS, and NPR, to provide expert analysis on Supreme Court decisions, Congressional actions, and healthcare policy developments.
