About
Irene Lai is a physician on Executive Medicine's Sydney CBD clinical team. She graduated MBBS in 1986, trained in internal medicine and dermatology, and completed US fellowships at Northwestern University Medical School and NYU Medical Centre. She also holds a senior role with International SOS, where her work spans emerging health threats, occupational health, expatriate care, travel risk, and corporate medical information.
What to Know
Signature approach
Lai brings a wide clinical lens to executive-health assessment. Internal medicine supports whole-person risk review, dermatology adds skin and lesion screening context, and travel medicine matters for executives, expatriates, and deployed workforces. Her International SOS work gives her practical familiarity with international health risk, not just office-based preventive care.
What sets them apart
- Internal medicine plus dermatology. That combination gives her a broader medical surface area than a routine executive-health consult.
- Travel-medicine credentialing. Her Faculty of Travel Medicine fellowship and International Society of Travel Medicine membership align with frequent-traveller and expatriate needs.
- International SOS experience. She brings operational global-health context for corporate patients, international assignments, and emerging health threats.
Before You Book
- Care focus. Executives, travellers, expatriates, and patients who want skin, travel, and internal-medicine context in the same assessment.
- Confirm availability. Her International SOS role sits alongside the clinic role, so schedule should be checked directly.
- Program context. Executive Medicine is a preventive assessment clinic, not a peptide, hormone-optimization, or biological-age testing program.
