First Annual Lecture to Be Held in Name of HSPH Engineer
The first annual Dr. Herbert Sherman Lecture will be held on Monday, March 20 in the Snyder Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. The talk is named after a nationally recognized lecturer who served as director of the Office for Program Planning at HSPH and introduced the two-year graduate program in Health Policy and Management. Sherman died in 1986.
The lecture, entitled "Improving Quality of Care for Depression: Challenges for Primary Care Practice and Research," will be presented by Kenneth Wells, MD, MPH, professor of psychiatry and behavioral biostatistics at UCLA and researcher at RAND, a private research institution. The Center for Quality of Care Research Education is sponsoring the event.
Sherman was a distinguished electronics engineer who became a public health and medical authority.
Among his many accomplishments was the invention of a device that measured the pumping action of the heart that became a standard in the field, the creation of a coronary artery disease data bank, and the development of a mathematical model to help measure the growth of the AIDS epidemic.
All HSPH students, faculty, and researchers are invited to the lecture.
