Nationally known physician
and educator Dr. Roger Smith
will be the keynote speaker for

The lectureship was established
in memory of Dr. Ellie
Pryor, who died in August 2005
of pancreatic cancer. Pryor was
an associate professor of OB/
GYN at ETSU and was the
associate program director of
the OB/GYN residency training

from ETSU medical students
and residents, Pryor earned national recognition when she
