Biography
Mrs Wei-Lien Yee |
Monash Health
Wei-Lien is an experienced Sonographer, whom, once upon a time, worked as a radiographer, and now works as the Women's Health Ultrasound Clinical Educator at Monash Health- a large, tertiary health network covering the south-eastern corridor of Melbourne and Victoria. She has had the privilege of working with and learning from many inspiring and highly skilled sonographers and sonologists throughout her years in both the public and private health settings.
Wei-Lien has presented at many local and national ultrasound conferences and workshops over the years, with a strong focus on women's health ultrasound. Although she loves all aspects of ultrasound, she has a strong passion for endometriosis and gynaecological scans. Wei-Lien hopes to inspire, empower and educate both fellow sonographers and patients on the role of US in the diagnosis and management of all types of gynaecological conditions, in particular, endometriosis. When she’s not wandering the department with a transducer to the HLD machine, she loves keeping active with her 3 girls, pounding the pavement with a podcast on her headphones and daydreaming about her next travel destination.
