What: Former Vice President Walter Mondale will discuss, "Complexity and Meaning in Politics and Healthcare.”

When: 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2

Where: Mayo Memorial Auditorium.

This free public lecture kicks off a new leadership academy for emerging physician leaders. Former Vice President Walter F. Mondale will deliver the first annual David A. Rothenberger Lecture, hosted by the University of Minnesota Medical School and the Department of Surgery.

The title for this public lecture is “Complexity and Meaning in Politics and Healthcare.” A reception will follow.

The Rothenberger Lecture was launched with money raised by the Department of Surgery faculty and donors outside the University to thank David Rothenberger, MD, for his service as interim chair. The funds were to be used at his discretion for an annual lecture on leadership and other educational purposes; the lectureship reflects Dr. Rothenberger’s desire to address some of the broad and complex issues surrounding healthcare today.
