About This Physician
Among other administrative leadership positions at Duke, Dr. Lee was chair of the Finance Committee of the physician practice and member of the Executive Management Committee of the Duke University Health System. Prior to joining Duke in 1997, Dr. Lee was with RAND, a nonprofit research organization in Santa Monica, California, and an associate professor at the University of Southern California School of Medicine.

After earning his medical degree at Michigan, Dr. Lee completed an internship in internal medicine at Harvard Medical School’s Beth Israel Hospital and his ophthalmology residency at the Wilmer Eye Institute of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Following his residency, Dr. Lee completed a glaucoma fellowship at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston.

Dr. Lee’s early interest in public policy—and his legal training — has been central to his research and publications. He has received significant research funding for his work on assessing and improving quality of care, quality of life and outcomes research, and health systems utilization and policy— issues that are at the heart of the national discourse on health care. 

Dr. Lee currently serves on the Board of Directors of the American Board of Ophthalmology and has been a consultant and board member of numerous national and international professional, governmental, and philanthropic organizations. He also maintains a referral clinical practice for complex glaucoma patients.

Dr. Lee, the 8th chair of the Department of Ophthalmology since it was established in 1872, will hold the F. Bruce Fralick Professorship. He succeeds Paul R. Lichter, M.D., an internationally known glaucoma specialist, who served as chair for 34 years and has been a mentor to Dr. Lee since his medical school days.
