Dr. James Lee was a bench instructor for us in our denture course. He was a great bench instructor and mentor. If you talk with the upperclassmen, most of them will tell you he goes above and beyond to help his students and their patients. He is currently only employed part time and has applied for full time at the university. With a full time job he can get his visa renewed. The upperclassmen started a petition that has been signed by over 100 students thus far to give to the hiring committee to show that he has the support of the students, I am helping them out by relaying this information to the underclassmen.
Check out his Instagram @dr.jameslee to see the work he does with his own patients and with students, it truly is out of this world. He is a UMN trained prosthodontist and wants to stay at the university to teach future practitioner students his tips and tricks.
The administration has acknowledged the volume of interest regarding Dr. Lee's tenure status. I have requested a formal meeting with the hiring committee to present these records as evidence of his impact on our clinical education.

Dr. Lee has shown tremendous knowledge and skills with removable and fixed prosthodontics and I believe that his dedication to prosthodontics is one of the key factors that differentiates him from many instructors. He is also very committed with educating the students he works with and giving them insight on how to improve their clinical and laboratory skills. Having worked with Dr. Lee in residency, I can assure that he is very committed to providing the best treatment for patients and he would be a valuable asset to the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry's dental students if he is a part of the prosthodontic clinical faculty.

Freshest pros instructor we have had. Teaches technique that others don’t bother with and is aesthetically driven. Would love to have him teach our incoming classes

Dr. Lee was my bench instructor last semester for our Full Denture course and I learned so much from him. He spent individual time with everyone on our bench. He answered all of our many questions and showed us hands-on techniques that many of the other benches were not taught. I was very fortunate to have had the chance to learn from Dr. Lee and I know many other students would benefit from his extensive knowledge and great teaching skills.
