We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Dr. Layton McCurdy. In his roles as Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and as Dean of the College of Medicine, Dr. McCurdy was a visionary leader who made substantial impacts on our institution and on the field. Those who worked with him recall his singular gift for leading by example and inspiring outstanding accomplishments. More broadly, we have all benefited from the culture of collaboration, collegiality, and national impact that he helped instill. He has left a lasting legacy at MUSC. As we mourn his passing, let us all honor his memory and continue to be inspired by his influence in all we do.

We are grateful to share the attached video.
