Lisa Federle (born 31 July 1961) is a German doctor and emergency physician. In 2015, she introduced a "mobile doctor's practice" in the Tübingen district to treat refugees in their emergency shelters as well as homeless people. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became a mobile fever and diagnostic clinic. With the test strategy she had initiated, she adapted the Tübingen model for targeted pandemic control.[1] In 2020, she was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for her commitment.[2]
Life and career
[edit]Lisa Federle was born and raised in Tübingen, West Germany. She attended elementary school in 1968 and in 1972 the Wildermuth-Gymnasium Tübingen. After dropping out of school with two children, she worked in the catering trade without giving up her aspiration to become a doctor.[3] After starting a family, she graduated from the evening grammar school in Reutlingen in 1986 and from secondary school in 1990. She then studied medicine at the University of Tübingen[3] and graduated in 1998 with a doctorate at 37.[4] After five years of training in anaesthesia and intensive care, she acquired specialist status.[5]
In 2015, Federle developed a "mobile doctor's practice" for the Tübingen district so that refugees could receive medical care in their emergency accommodation.[6] Other groups, such as homeless people, could also be cared for with this mobile service.[6] In his laudatory speech on the occasion of the award of the Federal Cross of Merit, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier praised her approach, stating that "The medical practice on wheels is still a model today. Without a long lead time, when the corona pandemic broke out, it was able to be equipped with a mobile test station and used immediately in care facilities whose situation was particularly difficult."[6]
In May 2022, her autobiography "Auf krummen Wegen" was published.[1] It became an instant success, entering the bestseller list at number 2.[2]
Another book, "Vom Glück des Zuhörens", was published in October 2023.[3]
Federle is married and the mother of four children.[4]
Affiliations
[edit]Federle is the deputy chairwoman of the district doctors, honorary president of the German Red Cross in Tübingen[3] and the district's pandemic officer. She is a member of the CDU and represented it in the municipal council from 2009 to 2014.[7][8] She has been a district councilor since 2014.[9] In the state election on 27 March 2011 in Baden-Württemberg, she also ran and lost the direct mandate by 21 votes to The Greens candidate Daniel Lede Abal.[10]
