Larner College of Medicine
The Division of Population Health advances equitable emergency care through research, education, and innovation. We improve health outcomes for rural and underserved communities while preparing future physicians to deliver high-quality care across diverse settings.

Rural EM

Body

Rural communities in Vermont and northern New York experience several health challenges that are often prevalent in rural areas across the country. As the population ages, many individuals are facing an increase in chronic diseases and dealing with unmet mental health needs. It's worth noting that over three-quarters of Americans residing in rural towns encounter difficulties in accessing sufficient health care services, which has an impact on their overall longevity compared to those living in urban areas.

At the Department of Emergency Medicine, we're improving emergency care in rural health settings and training the next generation of EM practitioners to serve those who live in non-urban areas.

International Emergency Medicine

Body

Promoting equitable health outcomes for everyone and strengthening emergency health systems are both so important. At Larner, our International Emergency Medicine Program trains socially conscious, globally minded residents who bring a population health perspective into their clinical practice.
