is a professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University
and Director of Gastroenterology at Children's Memorial Hospital in
Chicago. He received his MD from Kansas University and completed his
residency, chief residency, and fellowships in gastroenterology and
nutrition at the University of Wisconsin. Previously at the Ohio State
University (OSU), he initiated a yearly seminar for Asian American medical
students in 1988, established the OSU APAMSA chapter in 1989, and organized
the cultural diversity curriculum at the College of Medicine in 1995.
Nationally, he co- founded the e-mail bulletin board 'AAMSnet' for Asian
American medical students in 1994 and co-formed the Asian Pacific American
Medical Student Association in 1995, for which he serves as Faculty
Advisor. At Northwestern, he serves as Director of the Gastroenterology

the Outstanding Clinical Teacher Award at the University of Wisconsin,
and the Asian American Faculty, Multicultural Teaching, and Distinguished
Diversity Enhancement Awards from the Ohio State University. Dr. Li
has published numerous articles on transport physiology and cyclic vomiting
syndrome.
Dr. Li believes that the next phase of evolution for
APAMSA is to help the Asian Americans (comprising 19% of US medical
student body) to develop the requisite skills to lead clinical and academic
medicine, public health and the Asian American community. However, he
has found that there are specific cultural challenges to leadership
development among Asian Americans. He strongly believes that his extracurricular
experiences outside of the classroom and humanities major at Princeton
have helped him develop a broader worldview and creative out-of-the-box
problem solving that serve him well in the rapidly changing field of
medicine.
Dr. Li's wife teaches kindergarten and is active in
the Asian American community. His daughter is a junior at UCLA majoring
in Asian American Studies and Chinese. His son is a high school senior
whose club soccer team won the U-17 State Cup championship. Dr. Li's
hobbies include fitness, travelling, movies, reading and soccer fathering. |

hopes that his advice to APAMSA's executive officers over the past several
years hasn't led the organization too far astray.
Dr. Lee is former National President of the National Association of Asian
American Professionals (NAAAP). He was on the Steering Committees for the
1997 Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA) National Convention and the
2000 NAAAP National Conference, and remains an active organizer in several
API community and professional organizations in Southern California. Dr.
Lee has an online column at AsianConnections.com and has qualified for
Jeopardy! twice, but isn't telegenic enough to get called up for the show
itself. |
