Julie Freischlag selected as first Harkless Distinguished Lecture at Western CPM, Pomona

The College of Podiatric Medicine (CPM) has named UC Davis’ Julie A. Freischlag, MD, as keynote speaker for its inaugural Dean Lawrence B. Harkless Distinguished Lecture, at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 3, 2016.

Freischlag, Vice Chancellor for Human Health Sciences and Dean of the UC Davis School of Medicine, will present “Bloom Where You Are Planted.”

Freischlag oversees UC Davis Health System’s academic, research and clinical programs, including the School of Medicine, the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, the 1,000-member physician practice group, and UC Davis Medical Center.

“Vascular surgery and podiatric medicine and surgery are natural partners in multidisciplinary care for patients at risk for amputations and other complications from diabetes, peripheral artery disease and other diseases,” Freischlag said. “Collaboration between these two specialties – as well as others, such as infectious disease – is critical to patient-centered care.”
