Message from the Associate Dean

Welcome to the UVM Larner College of Medicine. We believe that engaging every member of our community is essential to achieving institutional excellence, as it fosters professionalism, innovation and problem-solving—all of which are crucial in medicine.

We are committed to cultivating a culture that supports every member of our community. Guided by our core values, we strive to educate and retain exceptional students, faculty, and staff who drive institutional excellence and innovation. We invite you to attend our events and partner with us in shaping the Larner College of Medicine into a dynamic hub for innovators in science, education, and patient care.

I am privileged and honored to serve the University of Vermont community. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment is a shared responsibility, not the work of a single department, committee, or individual. At UVM, we believe this work includes everyone, especially YOU.

- Margaret Tandoh, M.D., F.A.C.S., Associate Dean for Intercultural Excellence, Associate Professor of Surgery
