Message from the Associate Dean
Welcome to the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (ODEI) at the UVM Larner College of Medicine. We believe diversity and inclusion are essential for institutional excellence, fostering innovation and problem-solving crucial in medicine.
Our work fosters an inclusive culture that supports all members of our community. Our comprehensive strategic plan guides us in educating, recruiting, and retaining talented employees and students who drive institutional excellence. We invite you to attend our events, engage in dialogue with our office, and partner with us in shaping the Larner College of Medicine as a dynamic hub for innovators in science, education, and patient care.
I am privileged and honored to be of service to the University of Vermont community. Achieving a community of inclusion is a shared responsibility, not the work of a single department, committee, or individual. At UVM, we believe diversity encompasses everyone, especially YOU.
