Five years ago, the Larner College of Medicine launched Vision 2025—a roadmap that defined the college’s mission, vision, and values and outlined its commitment to four strategic priorities, goals, and their foundations.

Now, as we approach a new chapter, we’re setting our sights on Vision 2030. Jan Carney, M.D., M.P.H., associate dean for public health and health policy and professor of medicine, will once again lead the strategic planning process. Dr. Carney will guide the college in identifying opportunities for growth, aligning university priorities, and engaging more deeply across our community.

Throughout September, Carney hosted a series of town halls to gather input through a comprehensive SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). That feedback is now being reviewed and will inform the strategic priorities and goals that will shape the next five years of progress at Larner. Vision 2030 will be released in January 2026.

“We are embarking on Vision 2030, our next strategic plan, with a series of town hall conversations with faculty, students, staff, and our alumni community,” Carney said. “Vision 2025 has served us well, by strengthening our priorities in clinical, educational, research, and community initiatives. We look forward to identifying new goals and opportunities for the Larner College of Medicine and further strengthening our connections across UVM.”
