Held Wednesday, October 21, 2015
Vice Chancellor for Human Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine, UC Davis
President and Chief Executive Officer, St. George's University
Schools of medicine rely on hospitals and other clinical settings to train medical students. The relationship is complex. Dean Freischlag will discuss the benefits and challenges of partnerships between universities and hospitals, as well as share insights on opportunities for mutual success during a time of intense change in health care and health education. Dr. Olds will discuss how the new medical school at UC Riverside was built around community needs, using the community’s resources as a teaching platform. He also will discuss his work on replicating this model on a national scale in his new position as president of St. George's University in Grenada.
