Dr. Roger Detels, former dean and distinguished professor of epidemiology in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, died July 25. In the early years of the program, Detels often traveled to assist countries in the development of their systems to track the epidemic. Over time, graduates of the UCLA/Fogarty program have included two ministers of health, founders of two public health schools, directors of provincial and metropolitan CDC programs, chief epidemiologist for the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as numerous university professors. Detels held many roles beyond his promotions from associate professor to distinguished professor. Read more at the Fielding School of Public Health website.
