Joyce H. Lee, MD, MS was born in Tainan, Taiwan, and immigrated to East Los Angeles at age 8. She earned her B.S. in Physiology and Neuroscience at UC San Diego and interned at Janssen Pharmaceuticals. She then completed an M.S. in Bioethics at Columbia University and worked at NYU School of Medicine’s Department of Neurology on research related to Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC). She decided to give up both coasts to attend medical school in the Midwest at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Joyce has been involved with the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) for nearly a decade, holding various leadership roles, including being the National President. She has focused on improving the health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders with her fellow co-medical students and pre-health students. Her interests include neurosciences, research, bioethics, and medical humanities. After her neurology residency, she plans to specialize in neurocritical care and neurointerventional radiology. In her free time, Joyce enjoys spending time with her husband, family (including their 12yo corgi), and friends. She loves exploring new restaurants, gaming on her Nintendo Switch and PS5, and outdoor activities like beach trips and hiking.
