Vice President

​

Dr Min-Ho Lee is a GP resident in London and currently serves as Vice President of the Korean UK Medical Association (KUMA). He has been involved with KUMA since its early student-organisation days in 2008, making him one of the longest-standing members of the community. Over the years he has helped organise educational events, networking initiatives, and community outreach programmes, including serving previously as KUMA Secretary.

Dr Lee values KUMA for the strong sense of connection it creates among Korean healthcare professionals in the UK. As Vice President, he endeavors to strengthen mentorship and collaboration across generations of members.

Fun fact: outside medicine, Dr Lee is also a property investment specialist and runs a growing property business focused on serviced accommodation and property consulting.

Secretary of Internal Affairs

I've really enjoyed getting involved in outreach charity work we deliver to the wider Korean community. The networking opportunities have also been very meaningful.

Locum SHO

Secretary of External Affairs

KUMA는 영국에서 일하면서 자연스럽게 알게 되었고, 비슷한 길을 걷고 있는 사람들을 만나고 싶어서 참여하게 되었습니다. 처음에는 가벼운 마음이었지만, 생각보다 제게 더 따뜻하고 의미 있는 모임이 되었어요.

KUMA의 좋은 점은 유익하면서도 환영 받는 분위기인 것 같아요. 부담 없이 참여할 수 있고, 사람들과 깊은 유대를 나눌 수 있다는 점이 좋았습니다. 그리고 함께 커뮤니티에 봉사하는 점도요.

임원 있는 동안, 사람들이 “오길 잘했다”라고 느낄 수 있는 자리를 만드는 데 작은 역할이라도 하고 싶어요.

Fun fact: 초등학교 때 ‘예쁜 어린이 치아 대회’에 나가 참가상으로 치약 세트를 받은 적이 있습니다. 제 커리어에서 꽤 자랑스런 이력 중 하나입니다.

가정의학과 General Practice

Membership Officer

​

As a member of the Korean UK Medical Association (KUMA) committee, I’m constantly reminded of the power of connection, communication, and compassion in healthcare. Just like how each organ plays its part to keep the body in harmony, our unity helps address the diverse needs of our community. "For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ." This idea reflects our shared mission.

In today's fragmented world, effective communication is crucial, bridging gaps and providing clarity in healthcare. Love, defined by compassion and genuine care, guides us in treating each patient with dignity. But let's not forget the fun!

​소아외과 Paediatric Surgery, Core Surgical Trainee

Professional Development Officer

​

I was actively involved in KMDA-UK/KUMAS during medical school. I have very much enjoyed the experience of being able to meet friendly Korean medics in different areas/specialties and getting some advice from the seniors was just so invaluable. During the foundation years (and the start of the pandemic), I was in a small town, barely seeing any Koreans, and I really missed this community. By joining the committee, I hope to get to be a part of this lovely group again. 

​

Something others don’t know about me:

유연석 in 'Hospital Playlist' is indeed my favourite actor, but that is not the reason why I want to become a paediatric surgeon.

Charity Outreach Officer​

I am thrilled to be joining the KUMA committee this year. Volunteering for Health Awareness Day gave me a real sense of the strong community KUMA has built, and I am excited to be part of its future. KUMA plays an essential role in bringing together Korean medical professionals across the UK, and I look forward to contributing to its growth and impact.

I look forward this year to connecting with both our committee and the wider KUMA community, building meaningful relationships and supporting key initiatives. With exciting events, mentorship opportunities, and networking ahead, I am keen to get involved and help make this year a great one.

Something others don't know about me: I love playing electric guitar!

​심장내과 Cardiology Trainee

Midlands Representative

​

I’m really glad I got introduced to KUMA early in my training. At the KUMA MT, I met an incredibly supportive and selfless group of people who inspired me to get involved and be a part of the meaningful work they’re doing. Their dedication really stood out, and I’m excited to work alongside like-minded colleagues to help expand KUMA’s reach, especially within the Korean community in the UK. Having volunteered in my local community in different roles, I know how valuable it is to give back.

Through KUMA, I’m looking forward to continuing that and helping to create a more supportive environment for everyone.
