Hi there, I’m John P. Lee, a medical student at the Penn State College of Medicine. My current involvement with the Penn State College of Medicine includes being a student in the Global Health Scholars Program for the São Paulo, Brazil site and doing research in the fields of infectious diseases, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, and refugee healthcare. Beyond Penn State, I am the 2023 Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) National Medical Education Director, and I am an officer in the US Navy Reserve as part of the Health Professions Scholarship Program.

Prior to medical school, I graduated with a B.S. in Biology and a B.S. in Biological Anthropology from Penn State University Park and then graduated with an M.S. in Anatomy from the Penn State College of Medicine. I spent four years as an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science at Lebanon Valley College where I taught general anatomy, functional musculoskeletal anatomy, human physiology, and exercise physiology. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, kayaking, skiing, reading, playing board games and card games, learning new languages, and cheering on the Indianapolis Colts!
