The first female in an acting medical director position with INDYCAR is now making history with the organization and at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
On Sunday, Dr. Julia Vaizer was named the director of medical services for INDYCAR and IMS.
“Dr. Billows has been a friend, a mentor, a teacher and like family to me,” Vaizer said in a news release. “It’s a huge honor to be chosen to carry on his legacy. It fills me with inspiration ... I cannot wait for the next chapter and see how we can continue to improve the field of motorsports medicine for the next generation to come.”
Vaizer also serves as an assistant professor of clinical emergency medicine at the IU School of Medicine and as the assistant medical director for IU Health LifeLine. Before the 2022 Indy 500, Vazier told WRTV that fellowship was"the best year of her life." She also shared the impact Billows, her mentor, has had on her.“Not for a second he made me feel like I didn’t belong," she said. “The reason why I think I can take this on, is because anytime I call him, he says, 'oh you’ve got this.' Absolutely you’ve got this.”
