Dr. Lee has presented her research at two national conferences and three international conferences. As a pediatric resident, she presented the results of her completed research project to a national pediatric emergency medicine conference – a forum normally reserved for pediatric emergency medicine sub-specialty fellows to present work-in-progress. Her presentation was well-received and was praised by national leaders in pediatric emergency research. Dr. Lee was a co-presenter at a BC provincial-wide Grand Rounds for her research in mental health in emergency departments. She received an iACT Trainee Clinical Investigator Seed Grant to help with her project, and has also subsequently received a BC Pediatric Society Travel Grant and UBC Pediatrics Research Curriculum grant. In addition, she was the recipient of the Canadian Pediatric Society Conference award for best abstract in mental health in 2016. In addition to her research, Dr. Lee is actively involved in both her residency and her community. She is the co-founder of the Learning Buddies Network, a social pediatrics program aimed at providing free private tutoring in literacy and math to kids and fostering leadership and teaching skills in young adults. Within residency, she was elected by her peers to serve as Chief Resident. She is also part of the simulation team, teaches Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) within the hospital, and sits on the board of BC Pediatrics Society as a resident representative. Dr. Lee also exhibits a keen interest in global health and has had the opportunity to work in Botswana, South Africa and Jamaica during her time in residency. She will be starting her fellowship in Pediatric Emergency Medicine in July 2017 and hopes to continue broadening both her research and clinical experience. 9
