Interview/Podcast with Dr. Julie Gerberding, Director CDC
by Matthew Holt
Dr. Julie Gerberding is the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and could be called the top public health official in the nation. She’ll be presenting at the World Health Care Congress this coming week. In this interview she discusses the priorities for the CDC, how it’s working with industry and other government agencies in ways you might not expect, and what the major problem in health care is (One word–see if you can guess). We also talked, inevitably, about CDC’s work and role in assessing and preventing gun violence, following the tragedy at Virginia Tech earlier this week.
