The Future of Public Health: A Conversation with Dr. Rochelle Walensky, AB '91, and Dr. William Powderly

Throughout their careers, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, AB '91, and Dr. William Powderly have contributed meaningful research on HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. There are numerous parallels in their careers — from teaching and research to leading public health institutions and associations. At the intersection of their work is a fundamental commitment to creating public health practice and policy that provides equitable access to care.

Rochelle Walensky is honored to share her perspective, in conversation with William Powderly, on the future of public health, the most pressing public health issues facing us today, and the transdisciplinary approach in higher education, scientific research, and community engagement that will be needed to guide our public health nationally and globally.
