Dr. Schroeder is an excellent doctor because she listens to me as a patient. I have battled obesity my entire life and have worked with physicians who couldn’t not see past my weight. She gets a wholistic perspective of me as a patient beyond my weight and shares her knowledge addressing my concerns and getting me on track. I’m down a significant amount of weight thanks to her guidance and feel really good about taking care of my health.

Kathleen J R Schroeder, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
