The Medical School Dean’s Lecture Series is a series of presentations offered to faculty, staff, and students in the Medical School community, as a response to critical issues that are emerging in healthcare, as well as our efforts to address racial injustice and health disparities within our institution.

The series provides an opportunity for members of our Medical School community to present essential topics and ideas for improving our lives, whether it be within our research, education, clinical work, or service.

Lectures are offered monthly and facilitated by senior leaders of the Medical School. If you have a suggested topic to be considered for future lectures, please submit them using this link.

We look forward to welcoming Dr. Shailey Prasad, to our Wednesday, May 13th, webinar. Dr. Prasad is the Executive Director and Carlson Chair for the Center for Global Health and Social Responsibility (CGHSR) and the Associate Vice President for Global and Rural Health in the Office of Academic Clinical Affairs.
