The Valerie P. Opipari, M.D. Endowed Lectureship was established in honor of Dr. Valerie Opipari’s leadership and contributions to the Department of Pediatrics during her tenure as Chair (2003-2018), her work to develop and advance the department’s research programs, and her commitment to support and promote faculty and trainees in their academic and research careers. The annual lectureship brings leading physician scientists to Michigan Medicine to share innovations in pediatric and children’s health research and to inspire, mentor, and support the next generation.
The Valerie P. Opipari, M.D. Endowed Lectureship invites a leader in Pediatric/Children’s Health Research to give a lecture at the annual Pediatric Research Symposium. The purpose of the Symposium is to support and promote research in the Department of Pediatrics. The visiting scholar may also participate in meetings and mentoring panels with residents, fellows and junior faculty to discuss pathways and issues of a career in academic research.
