Season 4, Episode 4: In this episode, Anne Schuchat, MD, former US Assistant Surgeon General and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) leader, joins Marla Dalton, CAE, and William Schaffner, MD, for a candid conversation about her extraordinary career in public health. From the AIDS crisis to leading CDC responses to anthrax, SARS, and H1N1, she reflects on the mentors and moments that shaped her leadership—and why communication, trust, and collaboration are more vital than ever.
A highly respected epidemiologist, physician, and public health leader, she offers heartfelt advice reminding us that even in tough times, public health remains one of the most meaningful—and hopeful—professions. In 2018, NFID honored Schuchat with the John P. Utz Leadership Award in recognition of her outstanding leadership and contributions to public health.
