Jonathan Yong Lee (Jon Lee)
Clinical Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Jon Lee, MD, MBA is a Health Policy (Health Economics) PhD candidate, Economics PhD minor candidate, and Political Science MA student. In addition, Jon Lee is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Depression Clinic of Stanford University where he founded the "Am I Good? Examining life through the lenses of Philosophical Skepticism, Moral Philosophy, and Existentialism" philosophical psychotherapy group.
Jon Lee's research focuses on the causes and consequences of, as well as solutions to, rising skepticism and distrust in sources of expert information (e.g., science, health). He has a special interest in exploring skepticism and persuasion at the intersection of health and politics, which includes studying phenomena such as the politicization of science and health, political polarization, filter bubbles/echo chambers, the emerging post-truth world, and information warfare. It also includes seeking heteorgeneity in the findings across particular demographics at high socioeconomic and health risk. He draws on theories and methods from his uniquely interdisciplinary set of educational, research, and professional experiences, including those from experimental and behavioral economics, political science, psychology, philosophy, and machine learning. He is currently using machine learning-based text analytics to explore how trust/distrust in sources of expert information is discussed on traditional and social media -- followed by the use of online randomized controlled survey experiments to test the causal effects of particular persuasion strategies on perceptions of trust/distrust, as well as other important behavioral outcomes of interest.
Jon Lee uses a clinical approach that consists of the use of both psychopharmacological and individual/group psychotherapeutic interventions to address depression, dissatisfaction, and unhappiness. Referred to by some as philosophical psychiatry, philosophical therapy, philosophical counseling, or philosophical psychology, Jon Lee's approach to psychotherapy/counseling begins with the building of one's worldview / lens from a first principles perspective by asking the fundamental questions posed by philosophers and scientists spanning philosophical / intellectual traditions across time, including:
existentialism / existential philosophy
philosophical empiricism
philosophical skepticism, absurdism, pessimism, nihilism
logical empiricism / logical positivism
moral / ethical philosophy, skepticism, relativism
rational skepticism / scientific skepticism
political liberalism
Questions include 'how do we know what we know?', 'what is the meaning of life?', 'what is the purpose of life?', 'does God exist?', 'what matters?', 'what is value?', 'what is good?', 'do we have moral obligations?', 'what are our moral obligations?', 'do we have rights?', 'what are rights?', 'do we have free will?', etc.
Jon Lee's approach draws heavily from the philosophical works of Epicurus, Baruch Spinoza, David Hume, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Arthur Schopenhauer, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, John Rawles, etc. -

Julie Jung Hyun Lee
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioJulie Lee is a board-certified internal medicine physician and clinical informaticist at Stanford University. Dr. Lee's expertise in clinical informatics enables her to use informatics-driven approaches and clinically integrate AI models to improve patient health outcomes, alleviate physician burnout by streamlining workflows, and champion health equity at all levels. Dr. Lee focuses on clinical feasibility of AI implementation in healthcare systems and also leveraging patient data and AI models to identify/mitigate health disparities, making certain they function as instruments of equity rather than increasing gaps.
Dr. Lee has been key to several initiatives in improving operational processes within Stanford. Her efforts include: 1) advancing the governance and operations of Clinical Decision Support, 2) strategic integration of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program into the electronic health record (EHR) to address the opioid crisis 3) human factors analysis of the usability of health information technology on physicians and patient outcomes. Additionally, she has worked on innovative solutions to improve patient-physician communications--including the creation of a dynamic EHR tool for better triage and processing by medical staff before a medical advice request reaches the doctors.
Health equity is her north star, informing Dr. Lee to dedicated engagement with historically underrepresented populations in medical research and collaborative partnerships between academia and community healthcare practitioners. Her previous role as an EpiScholar with the Los Angeles Department of Public Health involved researching the impact of language and acculturation on the Latino population's dietary habits and health behaviors, with a particular focus on diabetes. She has also worked with community health centers in east Los Angeles to bridge the translational gap between academic research and frontline healthcare workers, facilitating the transfer of cutting-edge liver disease research to those treating patients with substance abuse-related liver conditions.
Of major clinical interest is cardiovascular disease—she has published several papers including a landmark article on the impact of sex-specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease in women and transgender population. She is interested in improving precision health for Asians and NHPI.
