ABOUT ME

I am a radiologist with 30 years’ experience in academic medicine, most recently as Professor of Radiology, Chief of Abdominal Radiology, University of Texas Southwestern Dallas (UTSW). I was a member of the admissions committees for medical school, radiology residency and fellowship at Harvard University Hospitals, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and UTSW.  

Throughout my career, I have advocated for women in medicine. I am the Former President of the American Association of Women in Radiology, Founder of the Committee for Women of the American College of Radiology and co-founder of the Diversity Collaborative UTSW. Overall, I have mentored and coached nearly 100 women.  As an internationally recognized expert on maintaining work/life balance for women physicians I have published peer-reviewed papers and lectured at national and international meetings.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Julia was invaluable during my application to medical school. She helped me practice discussing my research projects and talking through behavioral questions during mock interviews. She also reviewed my CV and application materials to identify strengths and weaknesses. What I particularly liked about her coaching style was that she was direct and targeted on areas to improve, while at the same time optimistic, hopeful, and encouraging. I think she would be a great coach for other trainees in their path towards a medical career.
