Philip Lee
Members of the campus community and the public are welcome to celebrate diversity in its many forms during a series of free events that begin at UCSF on October 8.
Chancellor Emeritus Philip Lee, MD, one of the original champions of diversity at UCSF, will present the keynote lecture titled “Diversity at UCSF: Revitalizing Efforts to Increase Diversity in a Changing Context,” on Thursday, Oct. 22 at noon in Health Sciences West, room 300, on the Parnassus campus. Lee, emeritus professor of social medicine, will share lessons learned from a seven-year study of diversity at UCSF and Stanford medical schools over the period from the 1960s through the early 2000s. He will discuss the new opportunities and challenges that UCSF faces in increasing diversity in the global health context and how diversity in the physician workforce is linked to health care reform in the US.
