Richard V. Lee, MD, is a graduate of Yale University (BS 1960) and of the Yale University School of Medicine (MD 1964). His clinical training in internal medicine and infectious/inflammatory disease was at Yale. Dr. Lees research and clinical interests have covered a broad range of issues, including the health status of geographically isolated human populations, international health, and the complexities of managing medical complications of pregnancy. His international work has involved providing care and medical educational programs for refugees under the auspices of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (Thailand, Cambodia) and consulting for the World Health Organizations Collaborating Center for Health in Housing based in Buffalo.
