About the Lecture
The Iams-Tuffli Lecture is an annual lecture series on the practice of pediatrics. The series is named after the late Alexander Iams, MD, and Gordon Tuffli, MD, two Madison-based pediatricians and friends who embodied the lecture series’ goal of promoting camaraderie in the field of pediatrics. After Iams passed away in 1984, his family – including son and daughter-in-law Jay and Pat Iams – established a memorial fund and lecture series to honor his 35+ years in pediatrics. The annual lecture covers a diverse range of topics relevant to pediatricians in both private and academic settings. Additionally, the memorial fund generously pays for the registration fees for all participants.
Tuffli coordinated the Iams Lecture series until his retirement in 1998. Sadly, Tuffli passed away in 2020 after a courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. In 2021, the Iams family renamed the lecture “Iams-Tuffli Lectureship” to honor the legacy of Tuffli, his friendship with Iams, and his stewardship of the lecture series.
