Clinical/Research Interests

Frederick J. Meyers, M.D., M.A.C.P., executive associate dean, oversees the research, teaching, clinical care and community engagement missions of the medical school and closely coordinates with the leadership across the health system to advance the health of patients and their families.

A member of the UC Davis faculty since 1982, Meyers has distinguished himself as a national expert in hematology and oncology, with a special emphasis on cancer molecular biology, metastatic cancer, end-of-life care and pain management. He served as chair of the Department of Internal Medicine for 12 years, senior associate dean for academic affairs and medical director of home health services.

Meyers is a longtime leader of the hospice movement in the United States, establishing programs that are now national models for providing compassionate, end-of-life care. He is well-known for his work in “simultaneous care,” a model of care that allows cancer patients with advanced disease to receive both investigational treatments and palliative care.
