Pronouns: she/her/hers



Dr. Jean Liew graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with degrees in Biology and English and went on to earn her MD at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX. She then relocated to the Pacific Northwest to complete an Internal Medicine residency at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, OR followed by rheumatology fellowship at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. She concurrently earned an M.S. in Epidemiology through the University of Washington School of Public Health. During her fellowship, the primary focus of her research was in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), specifically AS, and cardiovascular comorbidity.

She is currently an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Section of Rheumatology at BU, where her clinical research currently focuses on knee osteoarthritis and axSpA. Additionally, as a member of the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance (GRA) and a member of its Steering Committee, she has led multiple projects relating to data collection, analysis, and dissemination of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with rheumatic disease.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Within the Section of Rheumatology, I have helped lead monthly discussions for JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) with involvement from faculty, staff, and trainees in both the clinical and research spheres. Through my clinical care at BMC and my research in rheumatology (including with the Global Rheumatology Alliance), I have become more thoughtful about what it means to be an advocate and an ally, especially to those who have historically not been well-represented in clinical research. As a first generation college graduate myself, I aim to continue mentorship and sponsorship of other first generation students and trainees in order to pay it forward.
