As health care changes, the Vermont
Integrated Curriculum followed
by medical students changes too,
providing new ways to learn the
caring arts, and new venues for that
instruction.

SmileDocs, Project Micro, and
MedQuest are just some of the
many ways in which students,
faculty, and staff of the College of
Medicine reach out to elementary,
middle, and high school students
and, in the process, help to build
future generations of physicians
and scientists for Vermont and
the nation.

FROM THE DEAN
V
Throughout 2010, our faculty, students, and staff moved
the College of Medicine forward in the fulfillment of all
our missions. Indeed, so much good work takes place here
every day that advances education, research, patient care,
and community engagement that it’s difficult to pick the
perfect time to stop and review our progress. The fact is,
there is no perfect moment to take a “snapshot” — this
place is just too dynamic to hold still for the shutter. But
the middle of the academic year seems like a reasonable
time to try to capture a sampling of the important efforts
and accomplishments at the College that you will find in
this, our Year-in-Review issue of Vermont Medicine.
Our mission of educating the next generation of
physicians for Vermont and the nation continued to
advance in 2010. The College attracted an exceptionally bright, academically
prepared, and diverse class of students, who will experience a revitalized Vermont
Integrated Curriculum. In this issue you’ll read about those updates, including
the introduction of three new clinical education sites, spanning from Maine to
Florida. Along with our teaching hospital partner Fletcher Allen Health Care, we
are committed to bringing a breadth and diversity of experiences to the future
physicians who will call Vermont their alma mater. Elsewhere in the magazine
you’ll see a sampling of the ways people at the College help to pave the way for
medical students of the future by engaging young Vermonters who are interested
in science and medicine.
In the last issue of Vermont Medicine we announced the record total of research
funding garnered by our faculty across 16 departments. In these pages you can
read about some of the scientists who are a part of that effort, building Centers of
Biomedical Research Excellence on our campus, and mentoring the next generation
of medical investigators.
All of our efforts are aided immensely by the generous philanthropy of our
many donors whose contributions help to fund successful efforts in all our missions,
and we are glad to acknowledge their gifts to us in this issue. Sadly, 2010 was
notable also for the number of such friends who were lost to us, among them
Houghton “Buck” Freeman, Thomas J. Sullivan, M.D.’66, Nan Frymoyer, and
Robert Hoehl. Their engagement with our work and their important gifts to the
College have had a significant impact on medical education, which will benefit our
students and the physicians they will become, as well as physicians across Vermont
and the patients they serve. They have left a legacy that will continue to inspire all
of us at the College and they will be greatly missed.

Landmark Study Supports
Sentinel Node Biopsy
A less invasive surgical procedure for detecting breast cancer
spread has for the first time been proven to achieve the same
cancer survival and recurrence control as traditional lymph
node removal surgery in patients whose initial sentinel
node biopsy tested negative for cancer. These findings were
reported in Lancet Oncology by an international team led by
UVM Professor of Surgery David Krag, M.D.
The radiotracer technique Krag developed, sentinel
node biopsy, involves the removal of only a few key lymph
nodes versus axillary dissection, which removes all lymph
nodes in the armpit for examination. Sentinel node biopsy
produces fewer long-term side effects, such as chronic
swelling of the arm, infection, and loss of mobility in the
area where surgery occurred.
In addition to reduced long-term side effects, sentinel
lymph node biopsy allows patients to return home on
the day of the procedure, eliminates the need for a fluid
drain at the surgical site, and reduces any need for physical
therapy following the procedure. Begun in 1998, the tenyear study involved more than 5,000 study participants.
“What this means — beyond a shadow of a doubt
— is that at least two-thirds of breast cancer patients do
S.D. Ireland Professor of Surgery David Krag, M.D., pioneered the sentinel node
biopsy technique that was the subject of the largest-ever breast cancer surgery study.
“What this means—beyond a shadow
of a doubt—is that at least two-thirds
of breast cancer patients do not need
to have their lymph nodes removed…”
— David Krag, M.D.
not need to have their lymph nodes removed,” says Krag.
“There is a significant benefit to sentinel node biopsy when
it comes to improved recovery and potential side effects,
because the area heals so quickly.”
In addition to Krag, his UVM/Vermont Cancer
Center co-authors on the sentinel node study include
researchers Seth P. Harlow, M.D., Takamaru Ashikaga,
Ph.D., and Donald L. Weaver, M.D.
Leahy Visits MRI Center for Biomedical Imaging
Senator Patrick Leahy visited UVM in October for an
inaugural tour of the MRI Center for Biomedical Imaging,
established and supported by nearly $4 million of federal
funding secured by the Senator.
The MRI Center is an important resource for clinical
and translational researchers at UVM and Fletcher Allen,
who are engaged in 48 active projects that range from
studying the brain to understand more about memory, to
developing new methods for diagnosing abdominal issues in
children. Researchers have been so successful in their efforts
that in February 2009, the UVM MRI Center was chosen
by Philips for the first installation in North America of its
Achieva 3.0T TX, one of only four in the world at the time.
“Advanced tools like this MRI machine will allow
UVM and Fletcher Allen to continue to attract topnotch faculty and personnel,” said Senator Leahy. “That
is essential to maintaining and improving the level of
quality health care we have in Vermont. I am proud to lend
support to forward thinking, collaborative projects like this
that will help Vermont lead in the 21st century.”

College Celebrates Latest Frymoyer Scholars
A Life of Education
and Healing
Nan Frymoyer, 1937–2010
Nan Frymoyer, who died on September
14, 2010, was a former community
health nurse and had a strong interest
in patient advocacy that was based on
her own experiences as a patient in the
health care system. She served on the
UVM College of Nursing and Health
Sciences advisory board and helped
plan and implement the Frymoyer
Community Health Resource Center at
Fletcher Allen Health Care. Nan was
devoted to the notion of the healerteacher, and the Frymoyer Scholars
program stands as a memorial to both
her and her husband’s tireless work
in that area. The Frymoyer Scholars
program at UVM is supported by The
John and Nan Frymoyer Fund for
Medical Education. John Frymoyer
served as dean of the UVM College of
Medicine from 1991 to 1999 and also
served as CEO of Fletcher Allen from
1995 to 1997.
Above: The Frymoyers (at right) in 2000
with longtime friends and Frymoyer Fund
supporters J. Warren “Mac” McClure and
Lois McClure.
The John and Nan Frymoyer
Fund for Medical Education has
selected four program proposals

The Japan-Vermont Connection
A series of phase 1 clinical trials funded
by the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) was recently launched at the UVM
Vaccine Testing Center and Johns Hopkins
University to examine new tetravalent
vaccine formulations against dengue
fever infection. Since beginning a five-year
research collaboration with NIH/National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of
Public Health in 2009, Beth Kirkpatrick,
M.D., UVM associate professor of medicine
and director of the Vaccine Testing Center,
Kristen Pierce, M.D., assistant professor
of medicine, and colleagues had been
testing multiple formulations of dengue
vaccine. Their trials are designed to test
vaccine safety and effectiveness. UVM
co-investigators on the trial include
Caroline Lyon, M.D., assistant professor
of medicine, and Ann Fingar,
M.D., assistant professor
of medicine.
Since 2008, the College of Medicine has been
engaged in a cooperative agreement with Japan’s
Tottori Prefectural International Exchange
Foundation. Tottori is the most rural prefecture
in Japan, similar to Vermont’s role as the nation’s
most rural state. In the past, faculty members
from Tottori University College of Medicine
have visited UVM, and medical students from
both institutions have exchanged visits. Most
recently, Masatoshi Kida, M.D., professor of
pathology, joined Dean Rick Morin and his wife,
Tracy, visiting Tottori in September 2010. They
met with Tottori University president Takayuki
Nose (above) and toured the university,
including its agricultural department (below).

Colletti, ImproveCareNow
Partners Receive Grant for
National Pediatric Registry
A $12-million federal grant is funding creation of a medical
registry system unlike any before it, providing information
in real time on thousands of cases around the country —
and eventually the world. The grant focuses on pediatric
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and enhances an already
successful collaborative network called ImproveCareNow,
created by researchers and caregivers to improve the care
of chronically ill children and directed by Professor of
Pediatrics Richard Colletti, M.D.
The grant, which was awarded to Cincinnati Children’s
Hospital Medical Center as the lead site, involves an
extraordinary collaboration among seven institutions,
including UVM, where ImproveCareNow is based. The
new registry will make available data about symptoms,
treatments and outcomes for patients at multiple locations.
It will allow doctors and researchers to assess various
conditions and options on past and present cases, providing
a searchable database — never possible before — about
which procedures are having the greatest positive impacts
on patients.
This grant builds on the research from a 2009
$8 million “transformative” research grant from the
National Institutes of Health to create a network of
patients, clinicians and researchers to improve management
of chronic care.
Rather than waiting months or years for peer-reviewed
papers to be published on outcomes involving a relatively
small number of patients, the new registry will allow
Professor of Pediatrics Richard Colletti, M.D., is leading the national
ImproveCareNow network.
information to flow directly from patients’ electronic
medical records into the database, creating a real-time
body of shared knowledge that can be accessed and
reviewed immediately, making best practices and
corresponding outcomes available to clinicians, researchers,
hospitals, clinics, administrators, policymakers, and
even patients themselves.
The registry is the next step in what has been a
successful effort over the past four years among caregivers
and researchers who have been sharing information
on IBD through the ImproveCareNow network of
physicians, which includes nearly 30 different sites taking
care of thousands of patients. By sharing information
and comparing notes, doctors have been able to improve
remission rates for patients with IBD by as much as 20
percentage points over just the past three years.
While this award focuses on the ImproveCareNow
network and IBD, it also serves as a pilot for
implementation of a nationwide consortium of academic
health centers that propose to share electronic health
records and related clinical data for the purposes of
transforming children’s healthcare. The network was
launched at an October meeting of the Institute of
Medicine and is called PEDSNet.

Expanding Horizons
Health care changes, and the Vermont Integrated Curriculum
evolves too — moving onward and outward as the
College of Medicine sends students to clerkship sites
throughout the East, and prepares a new
state-of-the-art clinical simulation laboratory.

hen third-year medical student Auna Otts Leatham got off the plane in
West Palm Beach on her way to a pediatrics clerkship last August, she felt
the hot, humid air on her skin, and she let out a sigh: it felt like home.
Leatham spent part of her childhood in Florida; her parents live in Orlando. She
was looking forward to being near home — and excited at the chance to practice
medicine in a different part of the country.
Leatham and a handful of her UVM classmates are gaining clinical experience
at three new clerkship sites before the programs are rolled out to all clerkship level
students in March. The new programs — at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut,
Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor and St. Mary’s Medical Center in West
Palm Beach, Florida — are just one of several important changes taking place this
year. From training with electronic medical records to building a new Clinical
Simulation Laboratory to expanding a course on student reflection, communication
and professionalism, the Vermont Integrated Curriculum (VIC) is continuing to
evolve to meet the changing needs of students and patients.
“The nature of health care is changing, medical education is changing and
technology is changing,” says William Jeffries, Ph.D., senior associate dean for
medical education. “We’ve been able to leverage all of those opportunities and
produce a couple of big innovations.”
Ultimately, the changes underway will provide students with a more practical
understanding of health care, says Jeffries. “Our students are going to have more
clinical experiences earlier, which means they’re going to be more prepared for
actual health care once they hit the clerkships,” he says. “When they get to the
clerkships, they’re going to be exposed to a wider array of patients and a wider array
of physicians and systems. They’re also going to be aided by a new course that helps
them make sense of all of it.”
A wider view
Preparing for new clerkship sites began several years ago in anticipation of the
end of the College’s affiliation with Maine Medical Center. Even by increasing the
number of students at Fletcher Allen Health Care, the College’s primary teaching
hospital, the number of available clinical slots just didn’t add up, Jeffries says. So the
College established clinical teaching partnerships with three additional sites, which
students will rotate through in addition to Fletcher Allen. The three new sites give
students a wide range of patients, systems, and pathologies to learn from, Jeffries
says. St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, for example, is a community
hospital with a diverse patient population, many of whom are underserved.
Leatham, who spent seven weeks at St. Mary’s, said the majority of the patient
population was Hispanic, Haitian, or African-American, with Caucasians being a
minority. “It was pretty exciting because we saw some pathology we don’t normally
see in Vermont,” she says, referring to cases of sickle cell disease and large numbers of
patients with of HIV.
Barbara Barrett, director of Medical Staff Services at St. Mary’s, serves as one
of the main contact people for the students, helping them with everything from
schedules and directions to finding good restaurants to supplying a needle and
thread. “It’s nice to see them come here and be so excited about the type of medicine
and patients we have to offer,” she said.

Steven Schaub ’12, seen here examing a premature infant during a
pediatrics rotation, was among the group of medical students testing
the new clerkship structure at Danbury Hospital during the fall of 2010.
Below: during a neurology rotation in November, Shannon DeGroff ’12
examines a patient under the guidance of Kandan Kulandaivel, M.D.
The relationship with St. Mary’s not only benefits
students and helps with patient care — it also gives
physicians a chance to teach and stay on top of the latest
technology, news and advances in their field, Barrett said.
The hospital hosts students in other health professions, but
hasn’t had medical students previously.
Physicians at Danbury Hospital in southwestern
Connecticut — a large regional medical center about five
hours from Burlington — have some experience with
teaching medical students. Eitan Kilchevsky, M.D., who
directs clinical clerkships, as well as the pediatric clerkship at
the hospital, is impressed with the UVM students and their
eagerness to study. “They’re being proactive in the education
they receive, in making sure the education they receive is
really what they expected,” he said. “It shows maturity and
an eagerness to learn.”
UVM students will also begin clerkships this March
at at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine
— the second largest hospital in Maine, which serves
approximately two-thirds of the state.“They are going to get
a tremendous amount of experience at this site,” Hunter
Sharp, M.D., director of medical education at Eastern
Maine, said of UVM students. “They’re going to have a lot
of hands-on.”
Shannon DeGroff ’12, who helped test out the Bangor
program this past autumn, sees a benefit to having different
clerkship sites. “It’s good to get that experience down . . .
to realize that you’re going to have to change your way of
thinking, and understand that there are different systems.”
DeGroff, a native of Southern California, also has enjoyed
being near the Maine coast. She went hiking in Acadia
National Park when she first arrived, and has discovered a few
good restaurants in town. On an afternoon in December, she
had just come from a psychiatry lecture by UVM faculty —
held in Burlington — which she attended through interactive
video-conferencing. The technology allowed her to ask
questions and be an active part of the session.
An infusion of technology
New technologies are having a significant impact on medical
education, Jeffries says. A key example is clinical simulation.
UVM is expected to complete construction of a new
9,000-square-foot Clinical Simulation Laboratory, on the
second floor of the Rowell Building, in early 2011.
The facility, created as a central hub and resource serving
the College of Medicine, College of Nursing and Health
Sciences and Fletcher Allen, as well as the Vermont National
Guard, is funded by a generous gift from a College of
Medicine alumnus, the late Thomas Sullivan, M.D.’66, along
with a federal grant secured by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy.

The Expanded
World of Clerkships
Starting in March, third-year UVM
medical students will experience a redesigned
clerkship year, and have the opportunity to do
clerkships at four different hospitals.
With the new structure, there are seven
different schedules of evenly spaced clerkship types,
says Tania Bertsch, M.D., director of the Clinical
Education and Assessment. Each student will choose a
rotation schedule through a lottery system. They will
be with a group of up to 17 students who will follow
that rotation schedule all year.
At a second lottery, students are assigned
a location — either Fletcher Allen Health Care in
Burlington, the College’s continuing main partner in
clinical education, Danbury Hospital in Connecticut, St.
Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach or Eastern Maine
Medical Center in Bangor. The students will spend seven weeks at the
site they are assigned to and while there, will participate in lectures and
presentations in Burlington via interactive video-conferencing at each site.
Students will then return to Burlington for the one week
Bridge Clerkship — a course that focuses on issues in professionalism
and ethics, and applying foundational science to clinical cases —
before starting their next rotation.

At the lab, which has been functioning on a smaller
scale in temporary space for more than a year, students
practice clinical skills on whole body mannequins, as
well as partial body-part models used to develop specific
skills. UVM’s nationally recognized Standardized Patient
Program, where community members serve as instructors
and act the part of patients with different clinical
conditions, will also play an important role.
The new simulation lab, overseen by Director of
Clinical Simulation and Professor of Surgery Michael
Ricci, M.D., will have six patient rooms, built to closely

resemble patient rooms at Fletcher Allen, in addition to a multi-purpose room for OR, ER and ICU simulations; a virtual reality lab; a professional skills lab;
and debriefing rooms. Simulation mannequins contain
very sophisticated computer technology, with pulses and heart beats. They can mimic many clinical conditions. One mannequin, named Noelle, actually “gives birth.” In addition, the mannequins are wireless and mobile; they can be moved to patient rooms throughout Fletcher
Allen, travel to locations in the community, or be hooked up in an ambulance.
Clinical simulation is an important way to help reduce
medical errors and improve patient safety, College leaders
say. Currently, clinical education heavily relies on time and
chance, said Cate Nicholas, Ed.D., M.S., P.A., the College’s
director of clinical skills education. With simulation,
students can practice any clinical skill and procedure when
they need it, Nicholas said. “It is practice without risk and
practice on demand.”
As an example, Jeffries notes that students can now
practice suturing artificial skin, inserting IV bags and learning
how to do a lumbar puncture. And Fletcher Allen residents
and house staff are using simulators to practice inserting
central lines for chemotherapy — to improve skills at all levels.
EMRs in the classroom
Another new technology now part of the curriculum is the
electronic medical record. The College is using Fletcher
Allen’s electronic medical record, called PRISM, to train
medical students as part of its clinical skills program,
First-year students are now learning clinical skills and
documentation with the EMR, says Cynthia Forehand,
Ph.D., director of Foundations and Pre-clinical Assessment.
For example, when students learn the basic physical
exam and go to write up their history, they are doing it in
PRISM, and it is graded in PRISM, she said.
Plans are also underway to use the Standardized
Patient Program to help test out best practices for using
the EMR at Fletcher Allen, for quality improvement
purposes, Jeffries says.
Time for Reflection
Along with the experience of new technologies — and new
clerkship sites — there will be increased opportunities for
reflection. Starting in March, third-year students will be
offered a new course — an expansion of Professionalism,
Communication and Reflection, or PCR — previously
called Medical Student Leadership Groups.
PCR is currently offered through the first 18 months,
up to the end of the Foundations level, but will now be
expanded into the clerkship year. It will allow students to
come together to discuss more sophisticated topics and process
the clinical learning they’ve witnessed, as well as discuss issues
of professionalism, coping, and wellness, Jeffries says.
“It’s well known now that one of the essential clinical
skills of a physician is reflection,” Jeffries says. “In order to
improve yourself and improve the system that you work in,
you have to be able to digest what you’ve seen, reflect on it
and form a new plan for action each time — both for
the benefit of your patients and the benefit of your
own well-being.”

Hospital resident Ionut Mosteanu, M.D.; above: Makeda Semma and fellow students
and residents listen to Pierre Saldinger, M.D., during a surgical conference at Danbury.
For example, with clinical simulation, Nicholas
says, the real learning takes place not in the simulation
itself, which typically runs for eight minutes, but in
the 45-minute debriefing that follows. Students are
asked to reflect on what they felt, as well as what worked
and didn’t work.
Having time to process and evaluate also is essential
for the progress of the VIC and medical education. Jeffries
notes that the VIC’s strong evaluation component allows
the College to continually look at what’s working and not
working, and revise the curriculum on an ongoing basis.
Nicholas agrees. “We don’t need to go through
any monumental shifts. The VIC was built to evolve,
to continually evolve. . . . If we didn’t have that strong
foundation, we wouldn’t be able to do what we’re doing
now. That’s what makes us unique.” VM

One example of the COBRE model’s success
is Beth Kirkpatrick, M.D., associate professor
of medicine and director of the UVM Vaccine
Testing Center, whose original COBRE project
focused on Cryptosporidium parvum, a parasite
that is widely considered to be the most
ubiquitous and deadly waterborne pathogen in
the developing world.

“Beth is a vital member of the Vermont Center for Immunology
and Infectious Diseases and one of the College of Medicine’s emerging
stars,” says Kirkpatrick’s mentor Ralph Budd, M.D., professor of
medicine, director of immunobiology, and co-director of the Center for
Immunology and Infectious Diseases COBRE. “She’s a self-starter who
is energetic, incredibly organized, and has a keen sense of the overlap
between basic immunology and microbiology and vaccine development.
Beth single-handedly put together a phenomenally successful vaccine
clinical trials center, which has received funding from numerous
agencies, including NIH,” says Budd. In the last few years, vaccine
center has performed important research helping to stem the spread of
infectious diseases.
Self-described as a “bit of a late-bloomer,” Kirkpatrick had her
initiation into research after her medical school and residency, during an
infectious disease fellowship with two “rock stars” in the field. Working
with Cynthia Sears, M.D., and David Sack, M.D., of Johns Hopkins’
Center for Global Health and Bloomberg School of Public Health
respectively, she gained a strong foundational understanding of basic
science immunology and vaccine development models while conducting
field study in Haiti.
Arriving at UVM/Fletcher Allen in 1999 as a full-time clinician
with a field trial in tow, she subsequently launched a typhoid vaccine
trial, applied for an NIH K08 Career Development Award with Budd
and by 2004, had transitioned her focus to 25 percent clinical and
75 percent research. Her lab is now kept very active by the UVM
Vaccine Testing Center’s formal clinical trials, as well as exploratory
immunological research and pending field studies supported by a brand
new grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
UVM COBREs AT-A-GLANCE
UVM’s Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE), have been established by funding from
the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. COBRE grants are
designed to strengthen an institution’s biomedical research capacity through flexible support to
expand and develop biomedical faculty research capability and enhance research infrastructure
through support of multi-disciplinary centers.
COBRE funds are used in part to support existing junior investigators, as well as to recruit new
faculty. This enables the institution to establish a critical mass of investigators in a particular area
and enhance their competitiveness for other traditional NIH support. Support is also provided for
maintaining state-of-the-art core facilities as well as active seminar series.
A given institution can receive no more than three COBRE grants.
UVM has distinguished itself in receiving three such awards:
COBRE IN NEUROSCIENCE
Lead investigators are Rodney Parsons, Ph.D., chair and
professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology, and Cynthia
Forehand, Ph.D., professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology.
Faculty supported in current neuroscience projects
are Alan Howe, M.D., Miguel Martin-Caraballo, Ph.D.,
Jeffrey Spees, Ph.D., and Uma Wesley, Ph.D.
The Neuroscience COBRE also supports Cell/
Rodney Parsons, Ph.D. and
Cynthia Forehand, Ph.D.
Molecular and Imaging/Physiology core facilities.
COBRE IN LUNG BIOLOGY
Lead investigator is Charles Irvin, Ph.D., professor of
Medicine and Molecular Physiology ad Biophysics,
and director of the Vermont Lung Center.
New pilot grants under this COBRE are supporting

One of the early mentors of Matthew Rand, Ph.D.’95, taught him
to embrace work from the ground up — from creating the simplest of
buffers at the lab bench to interpreting significant data — versus only
focusing on one arm of the project. “I’ve held onto that sense; instead of
just reaching for the lowest hanging fruit, I approach the work with that
style, especially when I launch into new arenas,” says Rand, a research
assistant professor of anatomy and neurobiology.
Rand was a member of the initial Neuroscience COBRE at UVM
when it began nine years ago. After studying blood clotting as a graduate
student, he pursued a postdoctoral fellowship with blood-clotting scholar
Johan Stenflo at Sweden’s Lund University, during which his research
interest broadened to studying neural cell receptors that shared similar
structural characteristics with blood-clotting
proteins. Today, his work focuses on mercury
neurotoxicity and its effect on neurodevelopment
in fruit flies, and collaborations with his Swedish
colleagues continue.
The hot field of stem cell research keeps Daniel
Weiss’s lab buzzing with activity. Always curious
and interested in identifying novel approaches
to curing lung diseases, Weiss was originally
designated for a COBRE grant when recruited by
mentor Charles Irvin, Ph.D., professor of medicine
and director of the Vermont Lung Center. He
was able to secure alternative funding quite soon thereafter, funding
that set him on his current course studying the ability of a potent
type of adult stem cell — mesenchymal — to grow new lung tissue
in diseased and damaged lungs. An associate professor of medicine
Matthew Rand, Ph.D.’95 was part of the original COBRE in Neuroscience that
began at UVM nearly nine years ago. Today his research focuses on the important
field of mercury neurotoxity and mercury’s effect on neurodevelopment.

who holds both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees,
Weiss initially examined the benefits of gene
therapy and then expanded to studying whole
cells and finally stem cells during his tenure
at the University of Washington, where
collaborations with mentor H. Denny Liggitt,
current chair of comparative medicine,
assisted his research progress in this area.
“Dan is an innovative investigator,” says
Polly E. Parsons, M.D., professor and chair
of medicine. “He has developed a national
reputation for his work in stem cells and

lung disease and is the founding chair of an
internationally recognized meeting of stem cell
biologists supported by the NIH and others
that brings leading scientists in the field to
the University of Vermont and allows us to
showcase our investigators.”
To maintain research momentum, COBRE
researchers rely heavily on what Kirkpatrick
describes as “reciprocal mentoring” — seeking
out and sharing advice and knowledge with
peer and senior colleagues to stay abreast of
new avenues, potential collaborations, and
funding opportunities. In addition, says
Kirkpatrick, “Mentees keep you on your toes,
they keep ideas moving.”
One of those idea-movers for Kirkpatrick
is Kristen Pierce, M.D.’03, assistant
professor of medicine, who also works on
the dengue vaccine project. “Beth constantly
encourages me to accept new challenges and
responsibilities while providing support and
direction to foster these efforts and ensure
that I have the tools to succeed,” says Pierce.
“In working together on the dengue vaccine,
she has entrusted me with more and more
responsibility, yet still provides support
and teaching.”
UVM has a long-standing history,
which the COBREs have helped to foster, of
supporting the professional development of
not only graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows, but technicians too. Rand is one of
three former technicians who have earned
their Ph.D.’s in the UVM lab of Professor and
former Chair of Biochemistry Kenneth Mann,
Ph.D. And Weiss, who finds technicians
equally as enthusiastic about the work and
science as grad students and post-docs, is,
along with technician Amanda Daly, comentoring local high school student Pooja
Desai. Daly assists Desai with an independent
project focusing on Weiss’s research examining
the effect of stripping cells from cadaveric
lungs and seeding them with a patient’s
own stem cells in an effort to create new
healthy lungs.
Nearly a decade into the process, the
COBRE model has helped foster dozens of
new scientific careers, and brought UVM
and Vermont increased research activity. And
in just the past 18 months or so, the faculty
mentioned here have generated approximately
$7 million in new research funding. VM

get a taste for careers in the health sciences
t
he sounds of a second grade classroom on a
December afternoon are usually not described
as muted, but for the students of Sue Catozzi
at St. Francis Xavier School in Winooski,
Vt., the most interesting sound one such afternoon was the
muffled, steady thump-thump-thump of their classmates’
hearts, heard through the stethoscopes belonging to UVM
medical students. This classroom was part of the SmileDocs
program, a 15 year-old effort that brings medical students
into elementary schools to teach elementary children about
health and the human body. SmileDocs is just one of several
ways in which students, faculty members, and staff of the
College of Medicine reach out to elementary, middle, and
high school students and, in the process, help build interest
in science and health-related careers.
Second-year medical student Amanda Schwartz leads
the medical student interest group of about two dozen
students who regularly head out to local elementary schools
to run SmileDoc sessions. These groups visit the same
classrooms several times in a semester, with one of a number
of educative modules that have been developed by the group

over the years. “We’ll work through modules about heart function, the five senses, the
lungs,” she says. “And since we go back to the same class several times, we get to know
the kids better and I think they really look forward to our coming.” After their fall
semester at St. Francis Xavier, this year’s SmileDocs group was presented with a “thank
you” book of letters from all the children in the classroom.
For nearly as long as medical students have been running their program, Janet
Schwarz, senior laboratory technician at UVM’s Microscopy Imaging Center, and
Professor of Pathology Douglas Taatjes, Ph.D., have spearheaded Project Micro.
Launched originally as an effort of the Microscopy Society of America, the Vermont
Project Micro is now a national model of successful community interaction that uses
microscopy to foster scientific interest in young people, reaching schools in every corner
of Vermont with hands-on microscopy sessions presented by Schwarz, her colleagues,
and interested graduate students. Schwarz and Taatjes have even published on the effort,
presenting an overview of their work this past summer in the journal Microscopy and
Microanalysis. As of this year, the Vermont Project Micro has reached more than 5000
schoolchildren through the state.
Vermont’s Area Health
Education Centers (AHEC) focus
on high school students who are
beginning to ask the question
“what will I be when I grow up?”
Many students have an interest in
science, but only a vague notion
of what a health care career can
be like. AHEC’s MedQuest
HealthCareers Exploration
Program is designed to give these
students exposure to health care
career opportunities that they
would otherwise not encounter.
Each of the three regional AHEC
offices around Vermont run intensive, week-long MedQuest programs, where a group of
about 30 high school students immerse themselves in the world of health care. At UVM/
Fletcher Allen this summer, two MedQuest groups lived on campus for a week while they
shadowed health care professionals at three hospitals and an elder care facility, conducted
research in the College’s laboratories, and learned about health challenges facing all
Vermonters. UVM medical students serve as conselors all week.
More than 300 Vermont high school students have explored health care careers
through MedQuest over the past eight years. Gwen Fitz-Gerald was one of those kids,
and today she is a second-year medical student at the College. She credits MedQuest
with inspiring her to choose a career in health care. “MedQuest convinced me that
medicine was the direction I wanted to take,” Gwen says. “My counselors — all medical
students at UVM — were particularly inspirational.” This summer, Gwen honored her
MedQuest experience by serving as a counselor.
In addition to longstanding programs, the College also serves as an educational
resource for science teachers and their students around the state. This past year, the
College’s simulation laboratory was visited by students from PILOT, the Program to
Inspire Leadership, Opportunity, and Thought, a youth leadership program for high
school juniors in Chittenden County. And, for the second year in a row, students from
Vergennes Middle School became teachers on campus, taking part in a module on
adolescent development with second-year medical students as a part of the College’s
“Generations” course. VM

Microscopes
Find New Life in
Vermont Schools
This fall, the College of Medicine gave
new purpose to 120 of its microscopes.
As medical students moved to an online
microscopy tool, the microscopes were
stored in student lockers in the Medical
Education Center until members of the
COM Microscope Committee decided to
donate them to local schools. Working
with school science coordinators around
the state, Microscope Committee
members Cynthia Forehand, Ph.D.,
professor of anatomy and neurobiology,
Carson Cornbrooks, Ph.D., associate
professor of anatomy and neurobiology,
Nicholas Hardin, M.D., professor emeritus
of pathology, and Sheri Youngberg, Office
of Medical Student Education manager,
with the assistance of Tom Teel, COM
research facilities coordinator, identified
several schools in need of the equipment.
Beneficiary schools have included
Bellows Free Academy Fairfax, Burr
and Burton Academy, Cambridge
Elementary, Camels Hump Middle
School, Colchester High School, Enosburg
Falls Middle School, Fletcher Elementary,
Harwood Union High School, Hinesburg
Community School, and Lamoille Union
Middle School.
The microscopes have been a hit
with staff and students at the schools.
“The current fiscal issues facing public
schools make it impossible for us to have
purchased any equipment that even
remotely resembles these microscopes,”
says Fletcher Elementary School principal
Jeffrey Teitelbaum. “These will be a
tremendous benefit for our students.”

he Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology (ANNB)
continues to maintain strong research programs and
participate actively in graduate student training and
medical and undergraduate student education. The Center
of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Neuroscience
completed its ninth year of funding. The Neuroscience COBRE
supports faculty research programs and two multi-user
research cores. With funds from the parent COBRE grant and an
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) supplement,
21 students were supported in the Summer Neuroscience
Undergraduate Research Program.
ANNB faculty maintain research programs in molecular
and developmental neuroscience, neural control of GI
function and environmental toxicology. Many obtained ARRA
supplemental grants. Rae Nishi, Ph.D., obtained a highly
competitive multi disciplinary NIH Challenge Grant to study the
effects of nicotine on adolescent brains.
The University-wide Neuroscience graduate training
program, which evolved out of the ANNB graduate program,
had 20 students enrolled. Dr. Nishi is the director and Cynthia
Forehand, Ph.D., serves on the Steering Committee. Many other
ANNB faculty serve as student mentors.
Dr. Forehand continues to direct the Foundations Level of
the Vermont Integrated Curriculum (VIC) and also directs the VIC
Neural Science Course. She assisted with the creation of the new
undergraduate neuroscience major. Drs. Cornbrooks, Fiekers
and Ezerman were Directors of the VIC Connections, Cell and
Molecular Biology, and Human Structure and Function courses,
respectively. Ellen Cornbrooks, Ph.D., and Jean Szilva, M.D.,
received awards from the Class of 2012 in recognition of their
dedication and commitment to student learning.

T
he Biochemistry department sustained and demonstrated
its commitment to excellence in research, education and
local, national and international service in 2010. Our
research activities were supported by 20 grants from federal,
non-profit organizational or corporate funding sources. These
funds allow all departmental faculty to remain actively engaged
in their various research endeavors, the majority of which reflect
a commitment to collaborative investigations with each other,
with members of our university community and with other
national and international research scientists. Despite national
declines in research funding, Professor Chris Francklyn, Ph.D.,
was successful in garnering an additional five years of support
for his NIH-funded program dealing with a specific enzyme
in protein synthesis. Associate Professor Rob Hondal, Ph.D.,
was awarded a new NIH grant to continue his studies on a
unique class of proteins that contain selenium. Professor
Scott Morrical, Ph.D., garnered an additional five years of NIH
support for his studies of DNA replication and repair. American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding was secured by three
faculty members, which not only supplemented their individual
research programs, but also supported undergraduate training
in the laboratory, and fostered collaborative studies with
investigators in other institutions.
Our collective research endeavors resulted in 30 peerreviewed publications in some of the most prestigious journals
in the individual faculty member’s area of emphasis. Eighteen
graduate students, three post-doctoral fellows, three research
associates and several undergraduate students made significant
contributions to our research programs and productivity, as
evidenced by their being the first authors on several of our
publications. Indeed, the first authors of our five most notable
publications in FY 2010 were trainees. Anand Minajigi, Ph.D.,
one such outstanding trainee, received his doctoral degree and
is now in post-graduate training at Harvard University. All of our
trainees continue to excel, with active participation in national
and international meetings through both oral and poster
presentations of their work.
Kathleen Brummel-Ziedins, Ph.D., Saulius Butenas, Ph.D.,
Dr. Francklyn, and Dr. Hondal received invitations to discuss
their work in platform presentations at international meetings.
Dr. Hondal received the 2009 Journal of Peptide Science Best
Publication Award. Dr. Francklyn remains on the editorial board
of The Journal of Biological Chemistry and more recently began
service as a regular columnist of “Study Section Insider” for
principalinvestigators.org. Kenneth Mann, Ph.D., saw his four
decades of outstanding contributions to the field of hematology
earn recognition as a “Legend” in that field from the American
Society of Hematology and his recent service as chair of working
groups within the NIH and US Army. National and international
recognition/service is also evident in the work of Professor Paula

here were many highlights for the Department of
Family Medicine in 2010. Thomas Peterson, M.D.,
was named chair following a national search. Dr.
Peterson brings longstanding experience as a clinician,
educator, and organizational leader to the position. The
department implemented the electronic health record
(PRISM), and acquired a rural family practice and teaching
site in Hinesburg, Vermont. This year marked our 34th Annual
Family Medicine Review Course and ninth Annual Cultural
Awareness Workshop.
New faculty include Tavis Cowan, M.D., James Ulager,
M.D., and Nellie Wirsing, M.D., who bring expertise in acute
care, rural family medicine, and residency education.
Department faculty with new roles include Alicia Jacobs,
M.D., Dan Weinstein, M.D., and Dale Stafford, M.D., as medical
directors; Charlotte Reback, M.D., directs the Generations
Course in the Vermont Integrated Curriculm (VIC), Candace
Fraser, M.D., directs the VIC’s Third Year Clerkship, and Brian
Flynn, Sc.D., is interim director of research.
Faculty and staff support the community through
activities such as free clinics, wilderness rescue, boards and
foundations service, and invited lectures on topics from
lactation to palliative medicine.
The department has substantial achievement in medical
student education through its third-year clerkship, elective
offerings, course leadership, and advising programs. Our
graduating students enter family medicine residencies at
a rate exceeding national trends, and generate superlative
reviews from residency programs. The department has written
or co-written multiple educational innovation grants; many
proposal funded, and all have led to enhancement. Our faculty
have been recognized with national curriculum and teaching
development leadership roles.
Our residency program thrives with record numbers
of applicants seeking out innovative curriculum, and
commitment to rural and underserved health, patientcentered medical home development, and community
medicine. Fifty percent of recent residency graduates elected
to practice in Vermont — reaching our targeted goal.
Faculty scholarship is expanding with projects in
farmworker care, breast and ovarian cancer screening,
patient education using media and graphical decision aids,
lactation education, behavioral motivation for self-care of
chronic conditions, lead screening, and prevention of health
professional fatigue and error.
Family Medicine faculty receiving awards include

Our clinical programs at UVM/Fletcher Allen provide
excellent neurological care: our stroke program is recognized as a
JCAHO and AHA approved Stroke Center, with outcome measures
ahead of relevant benchmarks. The program in Functional
Neuroscience (Deep Brain Stimulation) has continued to grow
and bring leading edge technologies to patients.
In summary, the strength of the Neurology faculty have
led to major contributions to education, research, and patient
care — the core missions of our Academic Medicial Center.

or our Department, this past year provided tremendous
opportunities, successes, and challenges. Our
opportunities have included revisions of our medical
student Ob/Gyn clerkship with the addition of two new clinical
sites, modification of our residency program to enhance its
educational content while at the same time adjusting to further
restrictions in duty hours, and the initiation of a mentoredtraining program for new Ob/Gyn physician-scientists. Our
successes have included our total extramural research funding
that reached almost $3 million this year (an all-time high
for the department), our designation as one of the highly
competitive NIH-funded programs for Women’s Reproductive
Health Research (WRHR) (funding for the mentored physicianscientist training program), the announcement of George Osol,
Ph.D., as a recipient of the University Scholar Award, and the
academic promotions of Christine Murray, M.D., and Emmanuel
Soultanakis, M.D., to associate professor and Elizabeth Bonney,
M.D., to full professor. Our significant challenges during the
past year have been related to implementation of the PRISM
electronic medical record in our ambulatory clinics, and the
challenging financial situation produced by the national
economy resulting in reductions in our clinical volumes,
especially for gynecologic surgery and obstetrics.
Other academic and clinical highlights during the past
academic year include the appointment of Marjorie Meyer,
M.D., as the Division Director for Maternal-Fetal Medicine,

Pathology investigators are asbestosis and asthma, with
an emphasis on oxidative stress. The Laboratory for Clinical
Biochemical Research (Russell Tracy, Ph.D., Director) at our
Colchester Facility is the center for cardiovascular research in
the department. The cardiovascular research group works in
the area of molecular and genetic epidemiology and has one
of the pre-eminent biomarker/biosensor laboratories in the
country. Our Division of Experimental Pathology, directed by
Kum Cooper, M.B.Ch.B., is focused on translational research and
has led to our department being in the top 10 percent for invited
presentations at the premier national anatomic pathology
meeting. The department has 42 extramurally funded projects
across these areas, of which 19 were new awards. Three of these
were funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA). Dr. Tracy received two ARRA awards to study HIV as part
of the INSIGHT group and to support human exome sequencing
in large NHLBI cohorts. Vernon Walker, Ph.D., received an
ARRA award to investigate Adducts as Quantitative Markers
of Butadiene Mutagenesis. Eight faculty members served on a
total of 23 study sections for the NIH, AHA, and DOD. Our faculty
published 110 papers across all fields of interest.
The department has an active graduate student program,
offering a masters degree in Environmental Pathology and a
Ph.D. degree through the Cell and Molecular Biology Program.
Our highly competitive clinical training programs include 16
residents and three fellowships. Our faculty is heavily involved
in the Vermont Integrated Curriculum (VIC) at all levels. This
past year, pathology faculty members were nominated 23 times
for VIC teaching awards for which there were 82 nominees.
The Department was awarded the new “Outstanding Teaching
Department Award” by the Class of 2012. We also teach in the
Fletcher Allen School of Cytotechnology, where students score
at the top on their national qualifying exams every year, with
one of the students achieving the highest score in the country.
One of the cytotechnology students won third place in the
national oral “interesting case competition.” Finally, our faculty
teach courses and mentor students in the UVM College of
Nursing and Health Sciences.
On our clinical service, departmental faculty manage
all the inpatient and outpatient laboratories for our teaching
hospital and outpatient facilities, performing over 2.8 million
tests a year, including 38,000 surgical pathology cases, 67,000
outpatient gynecologic cyto-pathology cases, 120 hospital
autopsies, and 450 medical examiner autopsy cases. Our clinical
laboratory has developed state of the art molecular diagnostic
services, an area at the cutting edge of clinical diagnosis. We
also perform laboratory testing for a wide variety of clinical
research projects initiated by faculty from our clinical and basic
science departments.

Center is a shared environment for the
safe conduct of high-quality clinical
investigation to promulgate the
advances of basic science to the bedside
and to relay new problems and questions
back to basic scientists. The Center for
Clinical and Translational Science was
founded in 2008 to provide a seamless
opportunity for young professionals to
be trained in clinical and translational
research and to perform such research in
conjunction with a mentor. The eventual
goal is for them to write successful
grants, become independently funded
and form the next generation of
well-trained clinical and translational
researchers. To that end, the Center for
Clinical and Translational Research offers
a Certificate, a Master of Science, and a
Doctor of Philosophy degree in Clinical
and Translational Science. These new
initiatives serve to broaden the scope
of GCRC-sponsored research to include
not only translational research but also

smoking cessation guidelines. Dr. Flynn
collaborates with other investigators
in the university on development of
strategies to improve utilization of cancer
genetics in primary care, reduce risk of
obesity among pre school children, and
increase adult physical activity. Drs. Flynn
and Marcy serve on the state’s oversight

Care and Research
The Vermont Cancer Center (VCC) is a
nationally recognized team of scientists
committed to state-of-the-art cancer
research, treatment, and education. The
institution plays a vital role in Vermont
and northern New York, serving to
influence standards of cancer prevention
and treatment across the region. Highquality patient care is provided through
the patient care areas at Vermont’s
academic medical center, Fletcher Allen
Health Care, including the Breast Care
Center, and the Hematology/Oncology,
Surgical Oncology, Radiation Oncology,
Gynecologic Oncology, and Dermatology
units, and the Cancer Patient Support
Program. VCC physicians and scientists
have also made significant contributions to
advances in cancer research that are keys
to understanding, preventing and treating
this disease. VCC research is conducted
primarily at the University of Vermont
and encompasses cancer prevention and
control; clinical research; cell signaling
and growth; and genome stability and
expression. Development of clinical trials
and translation of laboratory science into
patient-directed studies remain high
priorities for the VCC.

PHILANTHROPY
UVM COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
An Inspiring Time
Fiscal Year 2010 demonstrated the unwavering support of the alumni and friends
of the College of Medicine. Both gifts and pledges and cash received rose significantly.
UVM’s success despite a deep recession is a remarkable testimony to its donors,
who propelled fundraising at the UVM College of Medicine upward by 134 percent
since FY 2006 , including a 38 percent climb in FY 2009 en route to an even higher
total in FY 2010.
Why has UVM remained successful? Look no further than the names on these
pages — every individual name. Thomas J. Sullivan, M.D.’66, stepped forward with
unprecedented individual gifts that enabled construction of the Clinical Simulation
Laboratory, rehabilitation of Carpenter Auditorium, and numerous other major projects.
The estate of Bartlett Stone, M.D.’38, and Mable Stone created a large scholarship
fund that will support numerous medical students in each class as long as a medical
school stands in Vermont. Equally significantly, nearly 5,200 other individuals and
organizations supported the College. Among these were nearly 40 percent of our
medical alumni — a rate of medical alumni giving that is double the national average
and that each year places UVM in the top two or three medical schools in the nation.
Generosity is a learned trait, and as usual UVM’s medical students are not satisfied
to learn by just sitting in a lecture hall. In 2010, nearly three-quarters of the first-year
UVM medical students teamed up on the College of Medicine Marathon Team to train
and compete together while raising almost $40,000 for the neuroblastoma research
of faculty member Giselle Sholler, M.D.
Sadly, since FY 2010 ended in June, we have seen the loss of Dr. Sullivan, Houghton
“Buck” Freeman and several others so crucial to UVM’s recent success. Still, thinking of
those students logging their miles and raising funds in the little spare time medical
school affords, we are confident that our alumni and friends will continue to inspire.
The College of Medicine gratefully acknowledges private
support received in fiscal year 2010 (July 1, 2009–June 30,
2010). In the event that any of the information presented
in this report is incomplete or inaccurate, please accept our
apologies and notify the Medical Development and Alumni
Relations office at (802) 656-4014.

This past year, alumnus Thomas J. Sullivan, M.D.’66, (above, left) continued his extraordinary generosity to
his medical alma mater. Sadly, he died in December 2010. His philanthropy was recognized in 2009 with the
naming of the Sullivan Classroom. Among the projects made possible through Dr. Sullivan’s generosity was
the refurbishing and upgrading of Carpenter Auditorium. Dr. Sullivan’s impact has been and will continue
to be enormous. The College’s educational mission was vitally important to Dr. Sullivan, who is remembered
with great admiration by one of his colleagues, Harte Crow, M.D., for his careful training of residents: “Tom
was the consummate radiologist — well read, widely experienced, curious, and deeply interested his specialty. Not only did he practice at an extremely high level, he was also facile in passing on his judgment and
knowledge to others — especially residents. Because of his abilities he was greatly admired by all with whom
he worked, no matter what their professional role.” (Dr. Sullivan’s obituary appears on page 71.)

of Prospect and Pearl streets in Burlington, the main lecture room was named
Hall A. For the next 63 years, students such as the members of the Class of
1955 (shown above listening to the legendary Prof. Ellsworth Amidon, M.D.’32)
spent much of their time in the hall. Today’s students take in lectures in the
Sullivan Classroom or in the recently renovated Carpenter Auditorium, but
the College’s educational mission of inspiring a lifetime of learning in the
service of the patient remains the same. The Hall A magazine section is a
meeting place in print for all former students of the College of Medicine.

DEVELOPMENT &
ALUMNI RELATIONS OFFICE
Assistant Dean
Rick Blount
For me, one of the personal milestones of the past year
has been, of course, taking on the honor of serving as
president of the Medical Alumni Association. As I’ve said
to many of my fellow alumni this year, one of the most
important things I hope to communicate through my
tenure is the need for the alumni’s continued engagement
with their alma mater. I hope you’ll keep watch on the “Upcoming Events”
column in the magazine (and on the Web at www.med.uvm.edu/alumni) and take
advantage if you can of receptions and other opportunities to keep in touch.
I hope that alumni in the Boston area, for instance, will consider dropping by
for the alumni reception I’ll be hosting April 8 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. And
if you practice in Vermont, by all means try to attend the White Coat Ceremony
on February 18. It’s a wonderful chance to share in the excitement of the latest
group of future physicians as they prepare to embark on their clinical education,
and it’s truly reaffirming to raise your hand along with the class and again take the
oath to our chosen profession.
As a professor of surgery, I am honored to share the knowledge and skills
I gained at UVM with future health care practitioners and scientists. My greatest
pride is when students fully utilize the education they received from the College
to help their patients. Recently a former student emailed me about an experience
with one of her patients. She was in the difficult situation of delivering bad news
about the patient’s medical condition. After she gave the diagnosis, her patient
complimented her on the manner in which she provided the information! My
former student told me that she had used the same methods she had learned from
me during her time as a student. This really touched me because, as a student,
I had learned those very same methods from my mentors and professors.
We truly are links in the chain of medical knowledge and care.
I hope that in the coming year we keep our place in that chain in mind and,
as much as we can, support the next generation of physicians — including the
important financial support we can offer the College in order to provide aid for
scholarships, student research opportunities, and community service endeavors.
This magazine contains a listing of the many people who have assisted the
College in the past year. I’d like to add my personal thanks to all of those people,
and my hopes for an even more successful 2011.

1996. They asked me to return part-time
September 1997. I stayed until June 30,
1998 and then retired again as much for
my husband, who needed me more than
the hospital and school. I had thought
our retirement would offer us several years
of travel, theatre, companionship. But
‘life is what happens while you’re making
other plans.’ After three years in the
home, Avrom died in January 2004.”

Enduring
Connections
The naming of a physical space, scholarship, or
academic position is a way of creating a lasting
legacy, a way to provide support and at the same
time build the “culture of giving back” throughout
the College of Medicine community. The Pasanen
family joined the list of supporters recognized by a
naming opportunity in 2010, with a bridge in the
Courtyard at Given that commemorates Wayne
Pasanen, M.D.’71 and his son, Associate Professor
of Medicine Mark Pasanen, M.D.’92 (shown on the
bridge that bears his family’s name).
The College of Medicine
is honored to recognize
philanthropy that supports
its missions through naming
opportunities that encourage
a “culture of philanthropy.”
