“I asked him to stay on in the exact same role he’s had for the past several presidents, and I asked him to be a chief medical advisor for me as well, and be part of the COVID team,” President Biden said in December 2020, according to The New York Times. Dr. Fauci agreed to the appointment “right on the spot,” as he told TODAY at the time.
In December 2022, however, Dr. Fauci will be relinquishing his roles so that he can "start the next phase of his career."
Dr. Fauci received a diverse education and work experience.
Dr. Fauci studied classics, philosophy, and pre-med at the College of the Holy Cross and graduated from the school in 1962, according to remarks by colleague John I.

During the Vietnam War, Dr. Fauci fulfilled his military obligation in the Public Health Service at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where he served as a clinical associate. After a stint as chief resident at the New York Hospital Cornell Medical Center, he returned to the NIH to be a senior investigator in the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation. He passed clinical board examinations in internal medicine, infectious diseases, and allergy/immunology with top scores.
Is Dr. Fauci married?
Dr. Fauci is married to Dr. Christine Grady, the woman who gained significant attention in 2021 after a rumor claimed he was the sister of Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Dr. Grady is the Chief of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health’s Clinical Center. She and Dr. Fauci married in 1985 and have three daughters. Her other job is keeping her husband healthy amid his taxing workdays, as she told CNBC in April 2020. “I try to get him to rest, to drink water, to eat well, to sleep, and to be selective about what he agrees to and say no to some things,” she explained at the time.
