In 2017, Tobie Smith, MD, MPH, associate professor of family medicine in the School of Medicine, received an opportunity to join the board of directors for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. As a former world-class long-distance and open water swimmer and a physician dedicated to public health, community health and health equity, Smith was a logical choice for the anti-doping agency.

“Memorable.” “Profound.” “A sense of connection.” These expressions shared by a Georgetown School of Nursing student and a School of Medicine student capture their spiritual experience during a summer trip to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France.
