Overview
Hilary Seligman, MD, MAS is Professor at the University of California San Francisco with appointments in the Departments of Medicine and of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
Dr. Seligman is an expert in food insecurity and its health implications across the life course. Most of her recent work seeks to activate healthcare as a partner in addressing food insecurity as a risk factor for chronic disease and a challenge for chronic disease self-management. She does this work through evidence generation, policy analysis, and thought leadership. Her policy work focuses on federal nutrition programs (particularly SNAP), food banking and the charitable food network, and income-related drivers of food choice.
Dr. Seligman holds numerous leadership positions:
- She directs the Food Policy, Health, and Hunger Research Program at UCSF's ARC for Health, where she is Core Faculty and an Executive Committee Member.
- She has directed the CDC’s Nutrition and Obesity Policy, Research and Evaluation Network (NOPREN) since 2014.
- She serves as Deputy Scientific Lead for the American Heart Association's Health Care by Food Initiative.
- She co-directs UCSF's IMPACT Program (part of the Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute), which aims to influence real-world decision-makers to use data and science to inform their work. IMPACT provides UCSF faculty and staff with resources and training in collaborating with a broad range of stakeholders to quicken the adoption of evidence-informed policies in healthcare, government, industry, and other sectors.
Dr. Seligman is Program Director for the National Clinician Scholars Program at UCSF, School of Medicine. NCSP aims to offer unparalleled training for clinicians as change agents driving policy-relevant research and partnerships to improve health and health care for all.
