She is the Vice Chair for Clinical Affairs in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington. She is also the Editor in chief of the PM&R journal - the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
She has spoken extensively on the topic of Post-Acute Sequelae of Sars-COV2 (PASC) or “Long COVID”. She developed a Post Covid rehabilitation clinic at Harborview Medical Center, and has been invited by clinics all over the country to help them develop similar programs.
I had the honor of working with Dr. Friedly in her clinic for several months over this last year. The multidisciplinary, multimodal treatment model spearheaded by her expertise on the topic is extremely successful at helping people with this often debilitating diagnosis.
