Nancy Lynn Snyderman (born March 26, 1952) is an American physician, author, and former broadcast journalist.

She counts her father and mother and one of her instructors, Eugene Nicholas Myers, the chief of surgery in Pittsburgh, as her mentors.

She suggested to women: "If you are an adult and you want to take the shame off of rape, one of the bravest things you can do as a woman is to come forward and say I accuse you - and I'm going to do it publicly.

She served as a medical correspondent for ABC News for 15 years,[3] and was a contributor to 20/20, Primetime, and Good Morning America.

[6] In 2013, Snyderman launched her own website where she answers health and medical questions, takes suggestions for upcoming story ideas for NBC, and contributes a daily video and written blog.

She received the "Distinguished Service Award" from the American Academy of Otolaryngology's Head and Neck Surgery Foundation in 1998.

Snyderman has stated that she supports selective abortion as a result of the detection of the presence of congenital disorders in the fetus before birth, proclaiming it to be "the science of today" and "I believe that this is a great way to prevent diseases.
