Nancy Snyderman
Physician, author and former broadcast journalist Nancy Snyderman, MD, will share insights from her storied career covering global health and medicine in a conversation Jan. 27 with Paul Costello, Stanford Medicine's chief communications officer.
Snyderman will soon join Stanford as a consulting professor in the School of Medicine. She is the former chief medical editor at NBC News and previously worked as a consumer education executive at Johnson & Johnson and as a medical correspondent at ABC News.
She has reported on wide-ranging issues from all over the globe and has earned some of broadcast journalism's most distinguished honors, including Emmy Awards and Edward R. Murrow Awards.
She began her career as a head and neck surgeon, one of the first women in the United States to specialize in the field, and her medical work has been published extensively in peer-reviewed journals.
Snyderman's discussion is part of the Conversations in Global Health seminar series, organized by Stanford's Center for Innovation in Global Health.
