Goodman Lecture
The Goodman Lecture, funded by a generous gift from Sterling Drug Inc. to the Department of Pharmacology in 1982 to bring preeminent pharmacologists to Oregon Health Sciences University, was established in 1996. The Lecture Program honors Dr. Louis S. Goodman, the 1932 distinguished graduate of the University of Oregon Medical School (the founding institution of OHSU). Dr. Goodman is the noted author of Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. Now in its 11th edition, this text has been translated into numerous languages and is the standard text for Pharmacology world wide.
