The Holly Smith Visiting Professor Lecture

For the 26th annual Holly Smith Visiting Professorship Grand Rounds, we welcome Carlos del Rio, the chair of the Scientific Advisory Board for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the chair of the Department of Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine. Del Rio will explore successful leadership approaches to high-stakes crises, including global pandemics, online disinformation, and today’s increasingly partisan political divide.

The annual Holly Smith Visiting Professorship is the UCSF Department of Medicine’s most prestigious yearly lectureship. It is named for Lloyd Hollingsworth “Holly” Smith Jr., MD, a visionary physician-scientist whose uncompromising commitment to excellence helped transform UCSF into the world-renowned institution it is today. Smith served as chair of the UCSF Department of Medicine for 21 years, and associate dean for the UCSF School of Medicine for another decade.
