Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with a concentration on epidemiology, rehabilitation, neurology, internal medicine, and pulmonary and respiratory medicine. The main topics of Kennedy R. Lees's work include acute ischemic stroke management, stroke rehabilitation and recovery, venous thromboembolism diagnosis and management, cerebrovascular and carotid artery diseases, intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage research, traumatic brain injury and neurovascular disturbances, and atrial fibrillation management and outcomes.

The frequent publication venues for their work are:

  • European Stroke Journal (17 publications)
  • Stroke (8 publications)
  • Communications Medicine (2 publications)
  • Translational Stroke Research (2 publications)
  • Neurology (1 publication)

Notable recent papers include:

  • Deep learning-based detection and segmentation of diffusion abnormalities in acute ischemic stroke, 2021, Communications Medicine
  • Safety and Outcomes of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Posterior Versus Anterior Circulation Stroke, 2020, Stroke
  • The Incidence and Associated Factors of Early Neurological Deterioration After Thrombolysis, 2020, Stroke
  • Liver Fibrosis Indices and Outcomes After Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage, 2020, Stroke

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

If you’re exploring alternatives to a traditional medical degree, there are multiple online pathways in healthcare worth considering. One popular option is direct entry np programs for non nurses online, which allow individuals with a non-nursing bachelor’s degree to pursue an accelerated route to becoming a nurse practitioner.

For those concerned about competitiveness, nursing programs with high acceptance rates can offer a more accessible way to enter the nursing field. Some aspiring nurses may also be interested in absn programs that don't require teas, which do not require standardized entrance exams, making the application process less stressful.

Healthcare careers beyond direct patient care are also in demand. For instance, those interested in the administrative side of medicine may explore accredited medical billing and coding schools with financial aid to secure a rewarding career in allied health support. Each of these pathways provides flexible options for starting or advancing a healthcare career in the U.S.
