This report details the activities of, and donations to, the UVM College of Medicine during fiscal year 2006 (July 1, 2005–June 30, 2006).
FULFILLING OUR MISSIONS
An annual report can only hint at the countless
ways the people who make up the University of
Vermont College of Medicine advance the work
of the school each and every day of every year.
This is a campus that never really sleeps—come
here late in the night and you will see lights on
in laboratories in Given and the Health Science
Research Facility. You’ll see students, residents, and clinical
faculty walking the halls of Fletcher Allen. And more students
studying in the classrooms and at the Dana Medical Library.
We are a place that is defined by its missions, and the work of fulfilling our
missions never stops.
Our primary mission—the education of the next generations of physicians and
scientists, was given a big boost this past academic year with the opening of the
new Medical Education Center. For years, faculty, students, and staff had worked
tirelessly to construct the Vermont Integrated Curriculum, implemented in Fall
2003. With the opening of the new facility, this curriculum now has a home that
suits its needs, a place designed for the increased use of small group learning
and educational technologies.
At the same time, the improvements to our medical campus have facilitated the
physical integration of our academic health center; one only has to stand for a moment
in the concourse corridor and view the bustle of people walking back and forth
between Fletcher Allen and the classrooms and labs of the medical school complex to
see how tied we are to the task of serving the health care needs of our community.
At any particular moment, there are hundreds of stories to be told about the efforts
of students and medical educators, the work of distinguished researchers, the care
rendered by physicians, and the connections this institution has with its surrounding
communities. What is shown here is just a small representation of the difference
made by the people of the College of Medicine.
One person I should especially thank is my predecessor, Dean John N. Evans. John
has a long history of service to the College of Medicine and served as Dean for three
years through June 30, 2006. Much of the good work you see reflected in this report
is owed to his care and leadership.
My thanks also go to the many people and organizations who have generously
donated to the College this year. They are listed in this report in the section aptly
called “Supporting the Mission.” Thanks especially to our medical alumni—whose
annual participation in giving is among the highest nationally—we are strongly
on course to fulfill our important work and I am grateful to all of our supporters.
John P. Fogarty, M.D., Interim Dean

Facts & Figures
HISTORY
The University of Vermont College of Medicine was established in 1822 by a group of
Vermont physicians led by Dr. John Pomeroy and aided by Dr. Nathan Smith, the pioneering
medical educator who was instrumental in the formation of several medical schools
in the early years of the nation. Years earlier, in 1804, Pomeroy had begun instructing
students in his Burlington office—the beginnings of medical education in the state.
Today, the academic health center, of which the College is a key partner, is responsible
for educating and training over 35 percent of the physicians practicing in Vermont.
MISSION
The College, in alliance with our teaching hospital Fletcher Allen Health Care, has as
its mission to educate new generations of physicians and scientists in every area of
medicine, to advance medical knowledge through well-designed and carefully constructed research and to render the most compassionate and effective care possible.
STUDENTS
The college received 5123 applications
for the 104 positions in the Class of

INNOVATING EMERGENCY MEDICINE EDUCATION
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MARIO TRABULSY, M.D.’91 (above left) is one of
two faculty members named Frymoyer Scholars in 2005-2006. Named
for John W. and Nan P. Frymoyer (and funded by a broad spectrum of
alumni faculty, staff and friends of the College), the Frymoyer Scholars
Program supports clinicians who are actively engaged in teaching
medical and nursing students and promotes teaching that emphasizes
the art of patient care. Frymoyer Scholars are awarded funds for two
years to develop innovative, educational products or programs and to
improve their teaching skills.
4
An active participant in the implementation of the College’s Vermont Integrated
Curriculum, Trabulsy is clerkship coordinator for emergency medicine at the
College of Medicine and a Fletcher Allen emergency medicine specialist. She
was recognized for her proposal to develop a comprehensive, standardized
curriculum for medical students’ required emergency medicine course. Her
proposed curriculum will be available to all students via the College’s webbased educational tools and will focus heavily on patient care. Components of
the course will include lectures, problem-solving exercises, hands-on labs,
imaging modules, and digital and video images of critical testing equipment,
anatomic descriptions and physical exam findings.
Education
EACH YEAR, MORE THAN 100 NEW
medical students enter the University of Vermont College of
Medicine, and about 25 new graduate students begin their
study and research in the laboratories of the school. Working
with members of the clinical and basic science faculty, these
students are guided toward fulfilling both their dreams and
society’s needs. Every year in late spring, a similar group of
newly graduated students moves on, having achieved an
important milestone toward the achievement of their dream. In
May 2006, 97 new physicians and 18 new Ph.D.s received their
degrees from the College and began their careers providing
care and helping to find new and more effective therapies.

THE EDUCATIONAL
CAMPUS RENEWED
For much of the past decade,
two major projects at Vermont’s
academic health center have
revolutionized both the way
medical students are taught
and the campus where they
learn. The “way” is the Vermont
Integrated Curriculum, the
“where” is the project that
unfolded just north of the Given
building, where a small army
of architects, planners, and
construction workers moved
hundreds of thousands of cubic
yards of dirt to make way for
the academic health center’s
new Ambulatory Care Center
and Medical Education Center.
Beginning in August of 2005,
when the Class of 2009 began
its first day of orientation, the
College’s curriculum finally
had a home custom-built for
the needs of 21st Century
medical education.
SUCCESSFUL CURRICULUM IN ACTION
Another educational milestone was reached in 2006 when the first
group of students completed the initial Foundations Level. Aided by
educational technology like the College’s COMET teaching tools
(which the student pictured above is using to learn the steps of
proper eye examination) students are showing solid results. Explains
Senior Associate Dean for Medical Education Lewis First, M.D.:
“We’ve seen stronger results this past year in the USMLE Step 1
exam than we have seen in the years prior to initiating the VIC, which
is an important indicator that the curriculum’s Foundations level is
on target. Our Step 2 results have always been strong and remain so
with the VIC Clerkship, Bridge, and Advanced Integration Levels now
fully in place with the class of 2007.”

LEARNING FAMILY MEDICINE LESSONS IN CUBA
Class of 2009 members SARAH GRIMM, ELISABETH JANNICKY, NATHAN ROSENBERG, and CAMPBELL
STEWART learned first-hand lessons in the practice of Family Medicine in the course of
their trip to Cuba during their “alternative spring break” in 2006. The group spent
two weeks exploring the successes and shortcomings of the health care system of the
island nation. One of the key lessons they learned was the importance of family
medicine practitioners in the Cuban health care system. Above, the students visit
with one such physician at her village home and office. The students were able to
bring much-needed basic medical supplies to the physicians they visited and learned
from. The trip was arranged through the Vermont Institute on Cuba and the
Caribbean, and funded in part by the Medical Alumni Association.
TEACHING ABOUT A NOBLE PROFESSION
When the Class of 2008 finished the first
Foundations level, they marked the occasion
with recognition of several of their teachers
who had guided them along the way.
Among these was PROFESSOR OF PATHOLOGY
NICHOLAS HARDIN, M.D., (at left, with local high
school students) who won the Foundations
Teaching Award. At Commencement 2006,
as he celebrated his transition to emeritus
status, Hardin commented on the importance of medical education: “I believe that
education is the best way out of poverty,
away from war, and toward peace and
justice for all of us. When I teach pathology,
I try to share how noble and important I
think the medical profession can be. I have
been shown the greatest of kindnesses by
the people in the Department of Pathology
and I am grateful to have been allowed to
spend time with them.”
SUPPORTING THE MISSION:
HELPING FORGE CONNECTIONS
TO BIOTECHNOLOGY
Amid the lab coats, microscopes,
pipettes, and vials of UVM’s many
biomedical research labs, the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well. For
many faculty members, and for more
than a few enterprising graduate and
medical students, scientific discoveries
can lead to patents and products that
provide the foundation for biotechnology
companies. MARK BRANN, PH.D.’84,
president of Acadia Pharmaceuticals, is
one example of a successful scientist/
entrepreneur who has shepherded
discoveries from lab to commercial
sector. While on campus this spring to
receive the Medical Alumni Association’s
first Graduate Alumni Award, Brann
took the time to meet and share
his thoughts and experiences with
graduate and medical students
interested in bringing scientific
discoveries to the community.

R E S E A R C H AT T H E C O L L E G E O F M E D I C I N E
A PLACE FOR COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH
When researchers seek to test the insights and advances of the lab in the
clinical environment, the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at the
University of Vermont and Fletcher Allen Health Care is a prime place for
their work. The GCRC is the only general clinical research facility located
within northern New England/New York. The GCRC provides the optimal
controlled clinical setting where people like Senior Research Physiologist
NATHAN KOKINDA (pictured below collecting data for a study of diabetes and
metabolism) can do their work.
8
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide primary support for a
national network of 78 GCRCs across the country, most of which are
located within hospitals of academic health centers. This year, the
NIH renewed funding for the GCRC with a grant of $12.1 million. “This
year’s grant underscores the caliber and commitment of our GCRC
investigators and the volunteer participants who help us translate
what we know from basic science research to clinical applications
that will improve health care,” says Richard Galbraith, M.D., director
of the center.
Research
MEDICAL RESEARCHERS ARE DRIVEN
by the need to discover, and the need to apply discoveries.
They seek to understand the most basic sciences, use their
findings to improve care for patients, and translate their
discoveries further into improved understanding of populations,
which generates additional questions for basic science to
answer. Researchers at the College engaged in this cycle of
biomedical discovery garnered $77.3 million of funding in
2006 from public and private institutions and organizations
to support investigations in cardiovascular disease, cancer,
environmental pathology, immunobiology, lung biology,
neuroscience, structural biology, and many other fields.

CAPTURING A “WALKING” PROTEIN
IN MID-STEP
In the ultra-microscopic world of biomedical
science, getting a closer glimpse of critical
proteins can make all the difference in
understanding and treating diseases.
This year, for the first time, scientists
from the University of Vermont, led by
KATHLEEN TRYBUS, PH.D., professor of molecular
physiology and biophysics, and from the
Burnham Institute for Medical Research
in California captured 3-dimensional,
high-resolution snapshots of the motor
protein myosin V “walking” along its
cellular “road” using a technology called
electron-cryomicroscopy. The culmination
of four years’ work, this collaboration
among biochemists and structural biologists
was the cover story for a September
2005 issue of the journal Molecular Cell; a
related publication appeared in the journal
Nature in April 2006. Myosins are motor
proteins found in most cells in the body.
These results have broad implications for
other members of the myosin family, and
for how mutations in other myosins can
lead to disease.
TRACKING A MELANOMA GENE
Assistant Professor of Pathology MARCUS
BOSENBERG, M.D., PH.D., (seen at
left leading a student seminar) began a
five-year, $1.35 million grant from the
National Institutes of Health/National
Cancer Institute. The grant is funding a
project examining the effect of activation
of beta-catenin signaling on melanocyte
function and melanoma formation.
“Malignant melanoma is the most deadly
form of skin cancer,” Bosenberg says.
“At present, only a few genes, when
altered, are known to increase the chances
of getting melanoma. Beta-catenin is an
additional candidate gene that is mutated
in about 5 percent of melanomas, but
may be active in up to 40 percent of
melanomas. We will functionally evaluate
whether beta-catenin activation leads to
melanoma formation and metastasis. The
answer to these questions may speed up
the process of designing promising new
clinical trials for melanoma patients.”

FROM BLOOD, ANSWERS TO
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
Just a brief drive from UVM’s main
medical campus to the newly-named
Starbuck Family Wing of the Colchester
research facility brings one to the
Laboratory for Clinical Biochemistry
Research. Within the lab and its satellite
storage facilities are amassed more than
3 million blood samples from around the
nation and the world. Work at the lab
under the arm of several studies helps
broaden our understanding of risk
factors for heart disease, stroke, venous
thrombosis, obesity, diabetes, aging, and
frailty using a wide variety of assays in
population and family-based research
settings. Two such studies are MESA, the
Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis,
a long-term study of more than 6,000
people at six sites in the U.S., and LINAT,
the Leducq International Network
Against Thrombosis, which links six study
sites in the U.S. and Europe. Pictured
below at the laboratory are, left to right,
faculty members PEGGY DOYLE, PH.D., RUSSELL
TRACY, PH.D., NANCY SWORDS JENNY, PH.D., MARY
CUSHMAN, M.D.’89, TED BOVILL, M.D., and LINDA
ROBERTS, M.P.H.
SUPPORTING THE
MISSION: ORGANIZATION
FUNDS IMPORTANT
PILOT GRANTS
Without privately-funded
pilot grants, many important
publicly-funded research
projects might never get off
the ground. Pilot funding
allows a researcher to do the
initial work, the results of
which can lead to support
from the National Institutes
of Health, for example. The
Lake Champlain Cancer
Research Organization
(LCCRO) has been providing
crucial help, including pilot
grants, to researchers at
the Vermont Cancer Center
for nearly three decades.
Associate Professor MARK
PLANTE, M.D., (shown above
left with his collegue, Research
Assistant Professor Jeff
Folsom, M.D.) was one of those
chosen for a pilot grant in
2006. The LCCRO $25,000
Translational Research Award
allowed Plante and Folsom to
test a novel method of treating
prostate cancer tumors.

PATIENT CARE AT THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
12
FROM THE NORTHEAST
KINGDOM TO THE
SOUTH BRONX
Launched in 2003 and funded by
the National Institutes of Health’s
National Institute of Diabetes &
Digestive & Kidney Diseases, the
Vermont Diabetes Information
System (VDIS) focuses on tracking
hospital-based lab results for the
HbA1c test—the primary long-term
measure of blood sugar control.
“Our system communicates with
both patients and their providers,
via mail and fax, to help them
interpret laboratory tests,
remember to obtain tests when
needed, and keep track of the
patients’ health status,” says
Professor of Medicine Benjamin
Littenberg, M.D., principal
investigator. “Ultimately, the system
is designed to reduce the longterm complications of diabetes.”
PatientCare
“IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PATIENT,
the patient, and the patient.” So said former Dean John
Frymoyer, M.D., when he addressed a recent gathering to
honor recipients of scholarships, named in honor of him
and his wife Nan, to promote better clinical education. This
simple statement points to the primary focus of the work of
Several key partners, including the
Northeast Community Laboratory
Alliance, the Vermont Program for
Quality in Health Care, the UVM
Area Health Education Centers, and
Fletcher Allen Health Care, have
played a key role in the set-up of
the VDIS and its success. The system
now includes 11 labs, 62 practices,
124 primary care providers across
Vermont and in upstate New York
and New Hampshire and has over
8,000 patients enrolled.
DIANA BARNARD, M.D.’90 (at left),
a family medicine specialist in
Middlebury, Vt., joined the VDIS in
2004. Last fall, New York City’s
health department consulted with
Littenberg and his team about the
program and in July 2007, the
department will roll out a pilot
intervention program in the South
Bronx modeled after the VDIS. The
program’s role in New York has
brought national recognition, too.
Articles in the Washington Post
and New England Journal of
Medicine mentioned the VDIS–
New York City connection.
the College: to create a healthier community, one patient
at a time. All that goes on here, ultimately, happens so that
patients’ lives and experiences can be bettered. That means
improving the systems that deliver health care, improving
the therapies that defeat disease, and improving the longterm numbers of physicians who will care for a growing
state and nation.
13
PATIENT CARE AT THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
VCHIP: A MODEL FOR IMPROVEMENT OF CARE
Measure and improve: that’s the basic plan behind the Vermont Child Health Improvement
Program (VCHIP). In the six years since its founding, VCHIP, under the guidance of director
JUDITH SHAW, R.N., M.P.H. (above) has helped initiate and support measurement-based efforts to
enhance private and public health practice throughout the state. Today, VCHIP has built a
network of dozens of pediatric and family medicine practices, hospitals, obstetrical and certified nurse midwife practices into an alliance that fosters improved quality of care for every
child, and serves as a national model for other state programs.
MEETING A GROWING NEED
The national association of schools of medicine
sees a shortage of caregivers on the horizon,
and the College of Medicine, along with its fellow
medical schools across the country, is working to
meet that need. When the Association of American
Medical Colleges (AAMC) analyzed the national
health care situation in 2005, it recommended a
30 percent increase in the number of medical
school graduates by the year 2015. The College
of Medicine has moved to help meet this need
within its means. The 110-member entering class
in 2006 was the largest in the school’s history.
Students like those seen at left at the 2006 White
Coat Ceremony may someday be among the
35 percent of Vermont physicians educated or
trained at the academic health center formed
by UVM and Fletcher Allen.
14
SUPPORTING THE MISSION: GIFTS FUND PROFESSORSHIPS AND LECTURES
Two gifts in 2006 helped strengthen the work of current surgeons, and the education of future ones.
Retired surgeon Dr. Samuel Labow and his wife Michelle, a retired registered nurse, pledged current and
estate gifts estimated at over $5 million to the Department of Surgery. An initial gift of $350,000 funded
the Samuel B. and Michelle D. Labow Green & Gold Professor in Colon & Rectal Surgery and the Samuel
B. and Michelle D. Labow Lectureship in Colon & Rectal Surgery. A trust established by the Labows will in
the future provide significantly more support to the Department of Surgery. Neil Hyman, M.D., Professor
of Surgery and Chief of General Surgery, has been named the first Samuel B. and Michelle D. Labow
Green & Gold Professor in Colon & Rectal Surgery (Drs. Labow and Hyman are shown below, right.) A
gift from College of Medicine alumnus H. Gordon Page, M.D.’45 has created the Albert Mackay, M.D.’32
and H. Gordon Page, M.D.’45 Endowment in Surgical Education, which supports the Mackay-Page
professorship. James Hebert, M.D.’77 was named the first Mackay-Page Professor. (Drs. Hebert and Page
are shown below left.) Estate gifts from Dr. Page will in the future transform the position into a chair.
INTERPRETING RESEARCH STUDIES
Considered unfriendly and annoying, computerbased phone systems are widely used by for-profit
and non-profit businesses alike. But if you’re
alcohol-dependent, you might just find a silver
lining hidden in this often frustrating technology.
Based on years of research, John Helzer, M.D., a
professor of psychiatry at the College of Medicine,
and colleagues have evidence that reporting
drinking each day via Interactive Voice Response
(IVR)—a computer-based telephone system that
enables users to respond with the telephone keypad
to a recorded voice asking scripted questions—
results in a reduction of alcohol consumption
among heavy drinkers. They have also found that
feedback from daily IVR reports improves the
positive effect of brief intervention delivered by
primary care providers to hazardous drinkers.
NEW ADVANCES AGAINST
OVARIAN CANCER
The National Cancer Institute
(NCI) issued a major announcement in January encouraging
treatment with anticancer drugs
via two methods, after surgery,
for women with advanced
ovarian cancer. The combined
methods, which deliver drugs
into a vein and directly into the
abdomen, extend overall survival
for women with advanced
ovarian cancer by about a year.
Researchers at the Vermont
Cancer Center at the University
of Vermont/Fletcher Allen Health
Care, led by Associate Professor
CHEUNG WONG, M.D., (above,
center, seen with medical students
and patient) associate professor
of obstetrics and gynecology and
director of gynecologic oncology,
participated in the NCI-supported
clinical trials. The clinical
announcement to surgeons and
other medical professionals who
treat women with ovarian cancer
was made with the support of six
professional societies and advocacy groups. The announcement
coincided with publication in the
New England Journal of Medicine
of the results of a large clinical
trial that evaluated the use of
chemotherapy delivered into
the abdomen for ovarian cancer.
Together, these trials show a
significant improvement in
survival for women with
advanced ovarian cancer.
15
COMMUNITY AT THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
STUDENTS STUDY PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEMS
Partnering with community organizations is part of the education of
medical students at the College. Groups of second-year students,
working with various local agencies identified through the United Way,
completed twelve public health projects in January, which they presented
to the campus community in a public poster session (shown above). In
April, the College was one of seven medical schools to be named a
Regional Medicine–Public Health Education Center and receive a $50,000
planning grant from the Association of American Medical Colleges and
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. UVM’s proposal was
selected from 46 medical school applications. Jan Carney, M.D., associate
dean for public health and clinical professor of medicine, leads the
16
project. Titled “Proposal for the Vermont Center for Public Health in
Medical Education at the UVM College of Medicine,” UVM’s grant proposal
outlined a plan to collaborate with the public health community toward
the full integration of population health into the school’s curriculum.
“Our goal is to ensure that when they graduate, College of Medicine
students are well prepared to face public health issues, such as preventing
obesity and chronic diseases, and dealing with infectious disease
epidemics,” said Carney. “Our first steps will be to build on the strong
partnerships between the College of Medicine and community agencies
involved in health, and identify opportunities to include public health
during students’ clinical years.”
Community
CONNECTION WITH COMMUNITY
isn’t something that happens outside the medical campus—
indeed, it is impossible to find a border between the campus
and the community. The more than 500 faculty members,
400 students, and nearly 500 staff members of the College
are intimately involved with the community around us on a
daily basis. Those connections have translated into programs
large and small that link the work of the College to the
communities of Vermont and the wider world. Students
learn about community problems and seek to find solutions,
members of the public use the school as a resource for better
health care knowledge, and faculty members help improve
scientific study at schools around the state: all just a few
examples of the bond between College and Community.
17
COMMUNITY AT THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
STATEWIDE COLLABORATION STRENGTHENS
RESEARCH & INFRASTRUCTURE
In March, the National Center for Research
Resources (NCRR) at the National Institutes
of Health awarded a $16.5 million grant to the
University of Vermont to fund a statewide
program called the Vermont Genetics Network
(VGN), a scientific collaboration furthering
biomedical research, education outreach, and
infrastructure building between UVM and its
five VGN partner institutions: Castleton State
College, Johnson State College, Middlebury
College, Norwich University, and St. Michael’s
College. The award is the largest single
competitive research grant in UVM’s history.
New technologies that VGN is responsible
for bringing to UVM and its partners include
microarray and proteomics facilities and
a bioinformatics core. The microarray facility
provides a technology that allows researchers to
look at as many as 15,000 genes simultaneously
and zero in on specific ones, such as those
involved in a disease process. In addition to
the work undertaken at each of the partner
institutions, the VGN also has an active education
outreach component. Once a week for eight weeks
each semester, faculty and staff from UVM (such
as Senior Research Technician SCOTT TIGHE, at right)
visited a classroom at an institution in Vermont
and shared the microarray and bioinformatics
technologies with students and their professors.
To date, the VGN team has visited classrooms at
Castleton State College, Green Mountain College,
Johnson State College, Middlebury College,
Norwich University, and St. Michael’s College.
THE MEDICAL CAMPUS—
WHERE FUTURE CAREERS ARE SPARKED
Fostering science education helps encourage future physicians
and scientists. This is why the academic health center
campus is often the site, not just of graduate education, but
of high school learning too. Students from Missisquoi Valley
Union High School were among several groups this year
who gained further insights on the possibilities of future
careers in science-based fields through their experiences on
campus. The Missisquoi students watched a telemedicine
broadcast of a heart valve replacement (at left), which took
place in real time in a nearby operating room. They were
able to both see the successful procedure on-screen in the
Reardon Classroom of the Medical Education Center, and
ask questions of the surgeon performing the replacement,
Professor of Surgery Bruce Leavitt, M.D.’85. Later, still in
his scrubs, Leavitt joined the students for a lunchtime
question-and-answer session in the Case Method Classroom.
18
SUPPORTING THE MISSION: THE
IRELANDS TARGET CANCER RESEARCH
Vermont community members are used to
seeing the large shamrock-sporting cement
mixers of the S.D. Ireland Company at local
building sites throughout Vermont, and the
“parade of cement mixers” has become a
Burlington tradition every St. Patrick’s Day.
In 2006, though, the shamrocks on the side
of the trucks were joined by images of pink
ribbons. The company, in cooperation with the
S.D. Ireland Cancer Research Fund, decided
to make the parade a more meaningful
experience by incorporating it into an effort
to raise funds to support cancer research
in Vermont. The Ireland family has a long
history of such support, particularly for the
work of S.D. Ireland Professor of Surgery
David Krag, M.D.
COMMUNITY MEDICAL SCHOOL ENTERS NINTH YEAR
One of the most successful and long-running programs at the College entered its ninth year
in 2006, as more than a thousand local residents turned out to take part in Community
Medical School. The free public lecture series presents serious studies of important health
care related topics every week for six weeks each semester. Community members hear
members of the medical faculty speak about topics as varied as the science behind migraine
headache, new advances in cardiac imaging, or screening strategies for colon cancer.
Community Medical School has drawn a large and loyal following since its inception in 1998.

DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY & NEUROBIOLOGY
RODNEY L. PARSONS, PH.D., CHAIR
This has been an exciting and successful year for the Department of
Anatomy and Neurobiology (ANNB). A major highlight was the award
of the competitive renewal of the Centers of Biomedical Research
Excellence (COBRE) grant in Neuroscience. The COBRE grant will
ensure the continued growth of research and graduate training infrastructure in Neuroscience at UVM. It funds research programs of four
faculty members, three from the College of Medicine and one from the
College of Arts and Science and supports two multi-user research
cores: an Imaging/Physiology Core and a Molecular/Cell Biology Core.
These COBRE-supported research cores provide service and access to
molecular biological techniques and sophisticated optical equipment
for the university research community. A third COBRE-supported core,
a Translational Core, promotes interaction between clinical and basic
neuroscientists, funds year-out research opportunities for medical
students, and provides stipends for undergraduate summer research
experiences. Additional research programs of ANNB faculty, which
focus on cellular, molecular and developmental neuroscience as well as
on the neural regulation of GI, urinary and cardiac function, continue
to flourish and be well-supported by extramural funding.
Another significant accomplishment has been the initiation of the
University-wide Neuroscience graduate training program. Many ANNB
faculty contributed to the development of this new graduate program
and act as graduate student mentors. Dr. Rae Nishi is the program
Director and Dr. Cynthia Forehand serves on the program Steering
Committee. Five new students begin in the program Fall 2006. The
Department was pleased that Matthew Coates, who completed his
graduate degree in Dr. Gary Mawe’s laboratory, won the first Joseph
Warshaw Award for MD/PhD students.
ANNB faculty remained dedicated to a diverse educational mission
that includes teaching responsibilities for residents and medical,
Allied Health, undergraduate and graduate students. We continue to
participate actively in the Foundations Level courses in the Vermont
Integrated Curriculum (VIC). Dr. Cynthia Forehand, Director of the
Foundations Level curriculum, also is Director of the Neural Science
Course. Drs. Cornbrooks, Fiekers and Ezerman serve as Directors of
other VIC Foundations Level courses; Connections, Cell and Molecular
Biology, and Human Structure and Function, respectively. Dr. Jean
Szilva continues to develop instructional modules that have become
integral teaching components of many Foundation Level courses.
Other significant faculty accomplishments include Dr. Gary Mawe’s
selection as a University Scholar; Dr. Rae Nishi’s continued role as
Co-Director of the summer Neurobiology Course held at the Marine
Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole; Dr. Diane Jaworski’s service as
President of the Vermont Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience; Dr.
Victor May’s membership on the Scientific Advisory Committee for
International Symposia on VIP, PACAP and Glucagon Related Peptides;
Dr. Margaret Vizzard’s appointment as US Representative to the
Executive Committee of the International Society for Autonomic
Neuroscience; and Dr. Cynthia Forehand’s appointment to the National
Board of Medical Examiners Neuroscience/Neurology Task Force. Many
ANNB faculty continue to serve on NIH Study Sections, are members
of scientific journal editorial boards, act as manuscript reviewers and
participate in College, University, state and national committees.

DEPARTMENT OF ANESTHESIOLOGY
DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY
HOWARD M. SCHAPIRO, M.D.’80, CHAIR
This year our department faculty has grown to 41 attending physicians who delivered over 23,000 anesthetics at Fletcher Allen and
more than 13,000 pain treatment procedures in Pain Medicine.The
Anesthesiology department published 12 research reports and review
articles this year. Several departmental members contributed to book
chapters that were published or are currently in press. We continue
two sponsored trials in pain medicine as well as an industry sponsored inpatient study, and are actively preparing for new studies.
Among investigator-initiated studies, resident Dr. Todd Murphy
continues work examining the use of clonidine as an adjunct in intravenous regional anesthesia, and Dr. Carlos Pino continues a randomized study comparing two types of radiofrequency ablation to treat
facet joint arthropathy in the lumbar spine. Dr. Robert Williams also
continues his important work tracking the incidence of helmet use
among skiers and snowboarders.
In 2006, Drs. James Rathmell and David Adams maintained an
active role in the Vermont Integrated Curriculum in the College of
Medicine Neural Sciences Course. Drs. O’Donnell, Walker, Pino,
and Tsai continued our commitment to the Bridge Curriculum for
incoming medical students. Drs. Viscomi, Abnet, and Adams are
active in providing ongoing guidance for medical students who are
pursuing a career in anesthesia. Dr. Rathmell served as Interim
Associate Dean of Admissions for the UVM College of Medicine, Dr.
David Johnson continued his role on the Admissions Committee,
and Drs. David Adams, Mark Hamlin, David Johnson, Heidi
Kristensen, William Paganelli, Howard Schapiro, and Ralph Yarnell
served as Admissions Committee interviewers. Drs. Williams and
Fisher organized the 11th Annual Vermont Perspectives in
Anesthesia in Stowe. Several of our faculty members were presenters. This year’s meeting highlight was a presentation by Dr. Joe
Kreutz of our department’s history at FAHC over the past 100 years.
Several members of the Department provided invited lectures
at various national and international meetings. Faculty members
also served in surgical initiatives in Vietnam, Guatemala, Haiti
and Africa. We look forward to additional opportunities during the
coming year to add members to the Admissions interview team,
to serve as faculty mentors and to teach in the Vermont Integrated
Curriculum.
PAULA TRACY, PH.D., INTERIM CHAIR
The Department of Biochemistry experienced several changes
during fiscal year 2006. With the retirement of Dr. Kenneth G Mann,
after 21 years of service as the departmental chairman, Dr. Paula
Tracy is providing interim leadership and continues to work with the
faculty to develop a new strategic plan for the department, which will
continue to support its areas of strength and develop new, emerging
areas of emphasis. Dr. Stephen Everse received tenure and was
promoted to Associate Professor. Dr. George Long assumed the role
of Professor Emeritus after 20 years of dedicated service and plans
to continue to serve the department and its students through the
teaching of our graduate seminar program. Three pre-doctoral candidates
joined our department as well as one masters candidate, who had left
LSU as a result of the devastation Katrina levied on that institution.
We are pleased to report that one student received her PhD this past
year and is currently engaged in a post-doctoral fellowship at UC-Davis
in the Department of Microbiology. The 16 remaining graduate students
are reaching their various benchmarks with significant success. As
always, the outstanding effort and success of the Biochemistry faculty
regarding their research endeavors, teaching commitments, and
service to community remain strong and consistent.
Our junior faculty continue to distinguish themselves in their
scholarship. Drs. Beth Bouchard and Kathleen Brummel-Ziedins, both
Research Assistant Professors, were supported through Career
Development Awards provided by the Bayer Hemophilia Foundation
and the National Hemophilia Foundation, respectively. Dr. Bouchard
received the distinction of presenting her work in an oral session at
the 47th Annual Meeting of ASH and served as co-moderator of the
entire session, which included 12 presentations. Dr. Brummel-Ziedins
was the recipient of the 2005 Young investigator Award in Coagulation
sponsored by the the International Society of Thrombosis and
Hemostasis. This annual award is given to the young investigator
publishing the best article in the area of coagulation in the Journal
of Hemostasis and Thrombosis. Dr. Mann was a co-author on this
publication, as well. Dr. Mann also completed a six-month sabbatical
leave at the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville to better understand the
thrombotic complications accompanying a variety of cancers.
Twenty-six outstanding peer-reviewed manuscripts were published
by our faculty. Further evidence of the recognition of our research
22
accomplishments by our peers is provided by the 16 invitations our
faculty received to present their work at prestigious national/international meetings/symposia.
Assistant Professor Rob Hondal continues to serve all investigators at
the institution through his supervision of the UVM Protein Facility and
continues to mentor burgeoning undergraduate biochemists through his
leadership role in the UVM Biochemical Society. Additional institutional
service is evident in the work of Professor Chris Francklyn as the
Chairperson of the Institutional Biosafety Committee and through the
work of Dr. Everse as a member of the Graduate Education Committee.
Significant national service was provided by Dr. Francklyn, in his role as
Chair of the Molecular Genetics Study Section of the NIH, which is quite
an honor and recognizes his outstanding research contributions, and his
continuous funding from the NIH. Dr. Mann also assumed more national
service responsibilities in his new roles as Treasurer of the Federation of
American Societies for Experimental Biology, as well as a serving as a
member of its Executive Committee and its Board of Directors.
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY MEDICINE
JOHN P. FOGARTY, M.D., CHAIR
THOMAS C. PETERSEN, M.D., ACTING CHAIR (as of July 1, 2006)
(Chair John P. Fogarty, M.D. became Interim Dean July 1, 2006)
The year 2005–2006 has been another busy one for Family Medicine.
We continue to experience multiple transitions among our faculty,
recognizing their contributions to the College of Medicine and Fletcher
Allen Health Care (FAHC). Dr. Karen Richardson-Nassif was named to
a new position in the Dean’s office as the College’s first Associate
Dean for Faculty and Staff Development and Diversity this spring. Dr.
Chuck Hulse left his dual roles as Medical Director and Associate
Residency Director at Milton to become the Director of Programs for
Research and Scholarship for the department and John Ferguson took
on the Milton Medical Director role. Dr. Yumi Jarris left the department
at the end of the year as her husband relocated to the Washington,
D.C., area. She contributed greatly to the pre-doctoral program for
many years and oversaw our fourth year programs, including our very
successful Acting Internship for the past three years. Dr. Allan Ramsay
has been appointed as the new Medical Director of the Palliative Care
Service at Fletcher Allen, a position that fits very well with his role as
Director of Inpatient Services for Family Medicine.
In our Residency Program, we continue to attract excellent candidates and graduate future family physicians for Vermont. We matched
with three UVM students this year and are very pleased with the
quality and competitiveness of the program. This year three of our five
graduates are staying in the local area as their practice preference.
Our “hospitalist” program and Family Medicine service at Fletcher
Allen continues to expand for the local community family physicians
and is a great resource for the residents with regular teaching and
direct contact with FM faculty. In its final year, the residency training
grant provides a wonderful partnership with Burlington’s Community
Health Center in teaching culturally sensitive obstetrics care.
Our Pre-Doctoral Program is highly successful with our clerkship
continuing to receive excellent evaluations by the students. Our
Pre-doctoral Grant, now in its second year, is focusing on stimulating
student interest in care of underserved patients, including five
evening presentations on campus, seven student-driven community
projects during the clerkship year, and recruitment of a national
spectrum of community practices for fourth year electives. The
initial results were presented at the annual Pre-Doctoral Education
Conference of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine in
Charleston, SC in early February, 2006. Dr. David Little and his
team continue to improve the clerkship, including revising the format for evaluation of student performance with multiple elements—
preceptor assessment, written examination, clinical performance
evaluation, and formal case presentation. They developed (along with
the other clerkships) a set of minimum clinical competencies for the
clerkship and implemented a new tracking mechanism to be in
compliance with the LCME. The program faculty members are active
leaders in the National STFM working group on web-based teaching
cases and have presented their innovations at multiple national meetings. Working with fourth year students through our Acting Internship
and a variety of other electives, we have worked to stimulate student
interest in careers in Family Medicine. This year's graduating class
showed stronger interest in our specialty, just at the time that national
trends have highlighted the need for more family physicians.
Our faculty have multiple interests and projects and many enjoy
collaborative work, including Peggy Carey and her work with adolescent
screening and the VCHIP Project, Rob Luebber’s work on Prostate
Screening and Community Education, Allan Ramsay’s work on Palliative
Care, and Karen Burke and Omar Khan on Global Health. We have
multiple faculty serving on local and statewide committees on such
projects as Blueprint for Health and the AHEC Program.
The clinical service for Family Medicine continued to be very busy
at our family practice centers in Milton, Colchester, South Burlington,
Berlin, and the Walk-in Care Center. We’ve added new doctors to
Colchester, Milton and Berlin and our physicians are doing great
work as clinicians and teachers. These sites provided over 105,000
outpatient visits and each supports the college’s medical student and
resident educational programs.
DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE
POLLY E. PARSONS, M.D., CHAIR
(Dr. Parsons served as Interim Chair and was named Chair of the
Department in September 2006)
The past year has seen continued growth and excellence in all of the
areas that define our mission: research, clinical care, and education. The
Department of Medicine comprises 114 full-time faculty and almost 400
part-time faculty and continues to grow. This year new faculty members
joined the department in Cardiology, Endocrinology and Gastroenterology.
The Department is a national leader in research. In aggregate, the
faculty published over 300 manuscripts, reviews, chapters and books,
many of which were recognized in both the academic and lay press for
their significant contributions to the science of medicine. Many faculty
members serve on NIH study sections, are editors of journals, and are
members of editorial boards. This year grant funding increased by $2.5
million over the previous year for a total of more than $20 million.
Several significant new awards contributed to this increase. This robust
growth at a time of a national decrease in new NIH award funding
speaks to the outstanding scientific qualifications and contributions of
the faculty.
The Department provides extensive clinical care demonstrated by
the more than 80,000 subspecialty care visits and 12,000 hospitalized
patients. Care is provided at Fletcher Allen Health Care and at numerous satellite sites throughout Vermont and New York State. This year
the outreach programs continued to be expanded.
Members of the Department of Medicine are dedicated to teaching
and education. In addition to extensive involvement in the education of
medical students as highlighted again this year by the involvement of
many faculty members in the continued development and implementation of the Vermont Integrated Curriculum, there are 41 house officers,
three chief medical residents and 37 clinical subspecialty fellows in
training in the department. These trainees are active in the research
laboratories as well as on the clinical services. Several trainees were
chosen to present their clinical and research accomplishments at local
and national meetings in the past year. The Department of Medicine
was voted the Clinical Department of the Year by the College of
Medicine Class of 2006.

DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY & MOLECULAR GENETICS
SUSAN WALLACE, PH.D., CHAIR
The Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics continues to
achieve milestones in the research arena. In the area of microbial
pathogenesis, Dr. Gary Ward and associates have published two high
profile papers in Eukaryotic Cell and Molecular Biology of the Cell on
host cell invasion by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Dr.
Ward is also a member of the National Library of Medicine Public
Access Working Group and aligned with this interest, he is on the
Editorial Board of PLoS Biology. Dr. Ward was just awarded a second
National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 grant to further fund his work
on T. gondii. Dr. Markus Thali, a cell biologist who works on HIV, was
an invited speaker at the American Society for Cell Biology conference on the Cell Biology of HIV and other Retroviruses. Dr. Thali also
had a high profile paper in the Journal of Cell Biology on the mechanism of HIV budding at the plasma membrane. The newest recruit to
the Department, Dr. Mariana Matrajt, was recently awarded a grant
from the American Heart Association for her work on the genetics of
Toxoplasma gondii and was an invited speaker at the International
Congress on Toxoplasmosis in France. Dr. Keith Mintz, who works on
bacterial cell adhesion, just had his second NIH grant renewed to
study the interaction of oral bacteria with matrix proteins.
Another departmental focus is on the molecular mechanisms
underpinning protein nucleic acid interactions. Dr. Sylvie Doublié, a
crystallographer, gave talks at an international repair meeting in the
Netherlands and the FASEB Summer Conference on Nucleic Acid
Enzymes. Dr. Doublié is also on the Editorial Board of Structure, a
member of the Faculty of 1000, a Pew Scholar and a Walter Juckett
Scholar. Dr. Gregory Gilmartin had two high profile papers in Genes
and Development and one in Molecular and Cellular Biology, elucidating a novel mechanism for vertebrate poly(A) site recognition. Dr.
John Burke, also a member of the Faculty of 1000, studies ribozymes
and this year was a University of Vermont Scholar. Dr. Jeffrey Bond, a
computational biologist, has been serving as Interim Director of the
NASA Vermont Advanced Computing Center. Dr. Susan Wallace, who
studies processing of oxidative DNA damage, was honored by the
Harvard School of Public Health for her outstanding contributions to
molecular radiobiology. Drs. Burke, Doublié, Mintz, Wallace and Ward
all served on NIH Review Panels this year.
Department members have been participating fully in the third
year of the Vermont Integrated Curriculum. The Department also
has a large and successful graduate program; seven Ph.D. degrees
were awarded this past year with graduates going to prestigious
postdoctoral positions. Two undergraduate majors, one in
Microbiology and the other in Molecular Genetics, are also offered
in the Department, which also plays a major role in the crossCollege undergraduate Biochemistry and Integrated Biology
Programs. The Department is looking forward to continued success
in its research and educational missions.
DEPARTMENT OF MOLECULAR PHYSIOLOGY & BIOPHYSICS
DAVID WARSHAW, PH.D.’79, CHAIR
The Department of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics continues to
garner international recognition and success in the area of cardiovascular research. The major research focus is directed at understanding
the molecular basis of muscle contraction, with special emphasis on
how it relates to normal and diseased function of the heart and blood
vessels. The Department is considered the premier center of muscle
research in the United States. The highly collaborative nature of the
departmental research program stems from the faculty’s complementary expertise in protein biochemistry, molecular biophysics, molecular genetics, structural biology, and physiology. In addition to biophysical and biochemical studies of the mechanical performance of the
24
heart and its molecular motors, there is a significant focus on the
atomic structure of the heart's molecular motor proteins, with expertise in x-ray crystallography and high resolution 3-dimensional electronmicroscopy. With the successful recruitment of Dr. Matthew Lord
from Yale University as an Assistant Professor, the Department has
now added strength in cell biology with emphasis on cell division.
This highly focused and collaborative group of investigators has
been awarded two independent National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Program Project Grants, one of which was renewed to 2009, to study
genetic heart failure with emphasis on the molecular basis of muscle
force production. These multi-investigator grants serve as the
foundation for a collaborative interdepartmental (Physiology and
Pharmacology) NIH Training grant that was renewed this year and
supports the stipends of four postdoctoral fellows and four graduate
students. In addition, several independent investigator-based NIH
grants were also awarded this past year in the area of molecular
cardiovascular biology. The faculty have published over 20 articles
in prestigious journals such as Nature, Proceedings of the National
Academy of Science, and the Journal of Cell Biology, as well as
serving on Editorial Boards for several journals.
Faculty members have been honored as symposium organizers
and invited speakers at prestigious international scientific conferences.
At the Biophysical Society meeting, Dr. David Warshaw presented at
the Motility Subgroup on “Myosin V: Stop, Step, and Turn” and
organized a symposium on “Molecular Motors” at the Gordon
Research Conference on “Single Molecule Approaches in Biology,”
while Dr. Kathleen Trybus organized a symposium on “Regulation of
Myosin Motors and Muscle Contraction” at the Gordon Conference
on “Muscle: Contractile Proteins” and presented at a symposium
sponsored by Cytokinetics, Inc. on “Function and Regulation of
Acto-myosin Interactions” at the American Society for Cell Biology
meeting. Dr. Teresa Ruiz served as a Symposium Chair at the Gordon
Research Conference on “Three Dimensional Electron Microscopy.”
Both Drs. Radermacher and Ruiz presented at symposia at the
Microscopical Society of America. In addition, Dr. Berger now serves
as a regular member of the NIH “Macromolecular Structure and
Function Study Section,” while Dr. Warshaw continues to serve as a
consultant for the NIH Nanomedicine Initiative.
In education, many of the faculty contribute substantially to the
new medical school curriculum and graduate program in Biomedical
Sciences. Dr. Patlak served as the head of “Cardiovascular, Renal,
Respiratory” section of the Vermont Integrated Curriculum. Dr. Berger
served as Director of the Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate
Program, a University-wide graduate program that takes advantage of
the research strengths of the faculty to attract a high quality graduate
student population. In addition, Drs. Radermacher and Ruiz once
again held a “Practical Course on Three-dimensional Cryo Electron
Microscopy of Single Particles” that attracted over 20 international
scientists. This course has been recognized for its quality by the NIH
and various microscope companies through their financial support.
DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGY
ROBERT HAMILL, M.D., CHAIR
The Department of Neurology programs in teaching, research (clinical
and laboratory based) and clinical care continue to remain strong. In
teaching, our faculty now have a major presence throughout the
Vermont Integrated Curriculum (VIC) teaching in the foundations
course in neuroscience as well as during the clinical core curriculum
in neurology and the senior selective programs, including the Acting
Internship in neurology. At Maine Medical Center our clinical faculty
contribute substantially to the clerkship and a number of students
have selected careers in neurology following their rotations in Maine.
Graduate students and students in the MD/PhD program have select-
ed neurology faculty laboratories to complete their graduate degrees
and Neurology leads the translational core of the COBRE grant in
Neuroscience. Also, international students have been attracted to our
laboratories at graduate and postgraduate levels. At the postgraduate
level the neurology residency expanded to three residents per year,
starting in July of 2006. Fellowship programs remain strong with two
of our fellows joining the faculty and three additional postdoctoral
fellows (neuromuscular-clinical neurophysiology; multiple sclerosis &
sleep medicine) will start in July of 2006. All faculty have contributed to educational programs locally and regionally, and a number
of faculty have participated in national and international symposia.
During the last year, our faculty contributed 37 publications to the
basic and clinical neuroscience literature, was awarded 13 grants (new
or yearly renewals) from the National Institutes of Health or other
funding agencies such as American Heart and Muscular Dystrophy
Associations, and received grant funding for 22 clinical trials from the
biopharmaceutical industry. Faculty actively participate as reviewers of
publications for journals and grants, with three being active members
of NIH study sections, including providing leadership roles.
Clinically, the programs in Burlington and at Maine Medical
Center continue to expand. At Fletcher Allen 18,458 neurology visits
occurred. Specific attention is drawn to the growth and productivity
of the Vermont Regional Sleep Disorder Center at Fletcher Allen
Health Care. This multidisciplinary program provides a full range of
clinical services, education and research studies in sleep and the
‘Sleep Center’ has submitted a proposal for expansion to 6 monitoring beds and an expanded clinical service. Additionally, we look to
add new faculty in sleep during the coming year. A new program in
Neurocritical Care expands and complements the Stroke Program.
These programs in vascular neurology, which are joint ventures with
neurosurgery and neuroradiology, draw on the resources of the critical
care programs in medicine and surgery. Drs. Gorman and Commichau
are developing a high level program that will permit FAHC to be certified by the JCAH as a Stroke Center of excellence. The integrated
program in deep brain stimulation (DBS) for patients with movement
disorders has expanded with Dr. Jim Boyd joining the faculty. Dr.
Boyd completed a movement disorder and neurophysiology fellowship
and trained in DBS at Mt. Sinai medical center in New York City. This
program also draws on the resources of neurosurgery and neuroradiology
and thus multidisciplinary neuroscience care is part of the future of
our academic medical center.
DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY
MARK PHILLIPPE, M.D., CHAIR
This past year, which marks Dr. Mark Phillippe’s fifth year as Chair,
has seen continued academic and clinical progress for the

of support on the grant titled “Case TREC Bio Assay Core.”
The Department was one of the top thirty institutions in first
authored scientific abstracts accepted at the US Canadian Academy
of Pathology Meeting in 2005.
In our clinical service, department faculty manage all the inpatient
and outpatient laboratories for our teaching hospital and outpatient
facilities, performing over 2.4 million tests a year including 30,000
surgical pathology cases and 65,000 cytopathology cases.
Three new members have joined our faculty this July and one has
retired. Dr. Laura Greene just finished her fellowship in dermatopathology in our department and will become our third board certified
dermatopathologist. Dr. Ron Bryant is a board certified hematopathologist and cytopathologist who joins us as the Director of Clinical
Pathology and a member of our Hematopathology Division. The third
new member of the Department is Dr. Armando Ciampa, a fellowshiptrained surgical pathologist, who will be responsible for our outreach
program with Littleton General Hospital in Littleton, New Hampshire
and be an active member of our Anatomic Pathology Division. Finally,
Dr. Nicholas Hardin will retire after three decades of service as
Director of the Autopsy Service, a surgical pathologist and one of our
most highly recognized teachers. Dr. Hardin will continue to do part time service on the Autopsy service and teaching in the Vermont
Integrated Curriculum (VIC).
DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS
LEWIS R. FIRST, M.D., CHAIR
The Department of Pediatrics continued to grow and strengthen its
work in education, research, clinical care and advocacy in academic
year 2005–2006. Educationally, our department achieved a number
of educational accolades. Members of our faculty continued to serve
in a leadership role in all four years of the Vermont Integrated
Curriculum. Our faculty continues to hold leadership roles in education on the National Board of Medical Examiners, the American
Board of Pediatrics, and Dr. William Raszka, our Clerkship Director,
was elected President-Elect of the Council of Medical Student
Educators in Pediatrics, the national organization for all Pediatric
Clerkship Directors. Members of our faculty and department continued to be nominees for clinical teacher, resident and department of
the year. Within the department, congratulations go to our Clinical
Teacher of the Year, Professor and Chief of our Neonatology Division,
Dr. Roger Soll. Our Vermont Pediatric Summer Seminar sold out
again, drawing participants from more than 20 states as well as
pediatricians and family physicians from throughout the state of
Vermont. Our educational publication track record also remains
strong with faculty continuing to be editors-in-chief of publications
such as the journal Pediatrics and the newsletter AAP Grand Rounds.
Our research agenda continued to grow this past year with grants
and projects resulting in more than $8 million in research funding. Our
faculty and residents again presented over 20 presentations and workshops at the annual Pediatric Academic Society meetings in San
Francisco. Publications continue to emanate from faculty such as Dr.
27
Barry Finnette for his translational research on somatic mutation
frequencies and from the team from the Vermont Oxford Neonatal
Network under the leadership of Dr. Jeffrey Horbar. Our Vermont
Child Health Improvement Program (VCHIP) led by Judy Shaw, RN,
MPH, also expanded its projects throughout our state and helped
oversee the awarding of grants to five other states for programs based
on the VCHIP model. We continue to develop clinical research networks for the Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) program
of the American Academy of Pediatrics spearheaded by faculty member Dr. Mort Wasserman and an inflammatory bowel disease national
research network led by Dr. Richard Colletti. Our Interdisciplinary
Leadership for Health Professionals program continued its work under
the direction of Dr. Steve Contompasis, who has developed new
strategies for coordinating care for children with special health needs
throughout the state. We welcomed Dr. Giselle Sholler to our faculty,
whose work in neuroblastoma research has led to her receiving grant
funding as a new investigator from the College of Medicine.
Our clinical activity continued to grow rapidly during the past year
as we celebrated the opening of our new Robert and Cynthia Hoehl
Children’s Specialty Center in the beautiful Ambulatory Care Center
at Fletcher Allen Health Care that opened last October. This facility
has allowed us to provide interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art, childfriendly, family-centered care to children with underlying or chronic
diseases and has enabled us to expand our programs and services at
the Vermont Children’s Hospital at Fletcher Allen Health Care. For
example, under the direction of pediatric gastroenterologist Dr.
Michael D’Amico, we began a new program for children with weight
problems and we are currently planning to open a state-of-the-art
Pediatric Sedation Center in the upcoming year.
From an advocacy standpoint, it has been wonderful to see so
many students, residents and faculty continue to volunteer their
services and work actively on numerous community outreach programs
advocating for children and families throughout our region. Our
program to serve refugees in Burlington grew and flourished under
the leadership of Dr. Nilgun Tapucu, a member of our University
Pediatrics practice, and we salute her and the team that works with
her for enhancing the quality of care we provide to children who
arrive from other countries and require ongoing healthcare. While the
2005–2006 academic year has certainly been a strong one for our
department, we look forward to further improving the quality of health
care we deliver to children and families as we embark upon the
2006–2007 academic year.
DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY
MARK T. NELSON, PH.D., CHAIR
The Department of Pharmacology continued to make substantial contributions to the academic mission of the College of Medicine and the
University. George Wellman, Ph.D. was promoted to Associate Professor
with Tenure. Dr. Wellman teaches medical, graduate and advanced
undergraduate students, and his research focuses on the mechanisms
and potential novel therapies of cerebral vasospasm. His research is
supported by the NIH, NIH/NCRR–UVM Neuroscience COBRE, and the
Totman Medical Research Trust, and involves an active collaboration
with Neurosurgery. In the area of research, the Department published
approximately 28 peer-reviewed articles in top biomedical journals. The
Department’s research effort was largely focused on understanding the
function and dysfunction of the vascular and cerebrovascular systems.
This research has provided fundamental new insights and new
therapeutic modalities in the areas of urinary incontinence, cerebral
vasospasm, regulation of vascular tone, and how computationally
active neurons regulate regional blood flow in the brain.
Faculty members gave about 39 invited presentations at
universities and international symposia, and generated two
28
Intellectual Property Patents. Extramural support increased substantially to a total funding of about $4 million from the NIH,
American Heart Association, private industry, and the Canadian
Institutes for Health Research. The Department continued to
receive generous support from the Totman Medical Research Trust
to support an interdepartmental research effort to understand
cerebrovascular function and disease.
The Department continued its high quality teaching and mentoring
efforts to medical, graduate, and advanced undergraduates as well as
to Postdoctoral fellows. This effort included one-on-one mentoring in
research laboratories, didactic lectures in Molecular and Cellular
Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Medicinal Chemistry. In addition, in
the Fall of 2006, we will be offering a new introductory course in
Pharmacology (Pharmacology 201), as well as a new course with
Physiology (Medical Physiology 301). In 2007, we plan to offer a
Minor in Pharmacology for undergraduates. The Pharmacology faculty
taught in virtually all courses in the Foundations of the Vermont
Integrated Curriculum, as well as taught a Medical Summer
Pharmacology course. Dr. Wolfgang Dostmann was on Vermont Public
Television, ClearChannel Radio, WOKO Radio, Channel 3 Television,
and in the Burlington Free Press discussing “Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning and Household toxins.” Dr. Dostmann also gave a
Community Medical School presentation on “Toxins in Our Homes.”
In the area of service, faculty members served on grant review
committees for the NIH and the American Heart Association. Faculty
members serve on numerous editorial boards, including for Circulation
Research, Molecular Pharmacology, Journal of Physiology, and the
American Journal of Physiology. Departmental members support
the College and University by serving and chairing on a number of
committees, which guide the teaching and research missions of the
College of Medicine and the University.
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY
ROBERT PIERATTINI, M.D., CHAIR
Research in the Department of Psychiatry is concentrated in the
areas of childhood psychopathology, the neuroscience of aging and
memory, and substance use disorders. The Vermont Center for
Children, Youth, and Families continued an integrated body of
investigation surrounding the Achenbach system for empiricallybased assessment. Dr. Thomas Achenbach, Dr. Stephanie
McConaughy, Dr. Masha Ivanova, and Dr. Levent Dumenci applied
empirical assessment to understand forensic and cross-cultural
issues related to the development of mental disorders in children.
James Hudziak, M.D., and Robert Althoff, M.D., Ph.D., demonstrated precursors to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. David Rettew,
M.D., with Dr. Hudziak, used the Dutch twins registry to investigate
the genetic architecture of neuroticism. Paul Newhouse, M.D., the
director of the Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit (CNRU) and
Julie Dumas, Ph.D., have continued their NIA-funded research on
the effects of estrogen and related compounds in older women
including studies of cognition, behavior, and brain activity as
revealed through brain functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) as well as NIA-funded research on the nicotinic treatment of
Mild Cognitive Impairment. Alexandra Potter, Ph.D., received NIMH
funding to continue her work on nicotinic systems and ADHD, and
Magdalena Naylor, M.D., Ph.D., continues her NIAMS-funded work
on the treatment of chronic pain in addition to weight control.
Steve Higgins, Ph.D., Director of the Department of Psychiatry
Center for Substance Abuse Research and Treatment was awarded
an RO1 to continue studies of his voucher-based incentives model
to reduce smoking among pregnant women. Stacey Sigmon, Ph.D.,
received an RO1 to investigate treatment for prescription opioid
abuse. Sarah Heil, Ph.D., published extensively in the area of nico-
tine and opioid use by pregnant women. John Helzer, M.D., and
Gail Rose, Ph.D., continued their funded research on IVR-based
augmentation of cognitive behavioral therapy for relapse prevention
in alcohol use disorders. Dr. Helzer was recognized this year as a
UVM University Scholar. John Hughes, M.D., is continuing his internationally-recognized program of research on cigarette smoking.
A major clinical initiative this year has been an expanded role in
public psychiatry, lead by Tom Simpatico, M.D. In that role, Dr.
Simpatico serves as the Medical Director at the Vermont State
Hospital, where he has joined with the state of Vermont to implement an array of quality initiatives. The Division of Public Psychiatry
has also been very active in the formation of the mental health court
in Vermont.
The past year also saw the creation of a new Fellowship in Public
Psychiatry. Five residents finished training here, two of whom will
continue with fellowships. Five new residents joined in June 2006.
Scott Waterman, M.D., received the American Psychiatric Association
Nancy C.A. Roeske, M.D. Certificate of Recognition for Excellence in
Medical Student Education.
DEPARTMENT OF RADIOLOGY
STEVEN P. BRAFF, M.D., CHAIR
This past year has been one of collaboration, growth, and innovation
in the Department of Radiology. We have installed an enterprise-wide
picture archiving and communication system (PACS). Our department
is now essentially totally filmless and paperless.
This year we established two University of Vermont Green and
Gold named professorships. The first recipient of the John and
Kathryn Tampas Professorship was Dr. Brian Garra, Section Head of
Ultrasound and a nationally known researcher in diagnostic ultrasound with particular interest in volume imaging in ultrasound, elastography, and the use of harmonics and speckle reduction to increase
diagnostic capability of renal ultrasound.
The second Green and Gold Professorship created this year is the
A. Bradley Soule/John P. Tampas Professorship which was completely
funded by the generosity of virtually our entire Department of
Radiology. The recipient of this named professorship is Dr. Jeffrey
Klein, Director of our Thoracic and Cardiovascular Imaging Section. Dr.
Klein also serves as the President of the Society of Thoracic Radiology
and is the Associate Dean of Continuing Medical Education at UVM.
Academic endeavors in our department are diverse and range from
Dr. Christopher Filippi’s work on magnetic resonance diffusion tensor
imaging, where Dr. Filippi continues his collaborative work with the
Departments of Psychiatry and Neurology, to Dr. Curtis Green who
was an examiner for the American Board of Radiology Oral
Examination this past June. Dr. Green was also named Chair for the
Cardiac Maintenance of Certificate Committee for the American
Board of Radiology this year. Dr. Berta Geller is continuing her efforts
in understanding and validating the sensitivity and specificity of
screening and diagnostic mammography. Dr. Kristen DeStigter was
the keynote speaker for the Department of Family Medicine’s Cultural
Awareness Day where she spoke on the challenges of integrating
Bantu refugees into Vermont culture.
The Department of Radiology is active in the educational mission of the UVM College of Medicine. We offer five different electives to medical students every month, and our faculty provides a
dedicated lecture series for these students. In addition, Dr. Janice
Gallant continues her involvement in the development of the UVM
College of Medicine Imaging Curriculum, as part of the Vermont
Integrated Curriculum. Drs. Gallant, Braff, DeStigter, and Filippi
serve as AAMC Careers in Medicine advisors to UVM College of
Medicine medical students. Drs. Gallant and Filippi also serve on
the UVM College of Medicine Admissions Committee. Dr. Gallant is
29
now Associate Dean for Admissions and Dr. Gary Alsofrom serves on
the Advancement Committee.
The department serves as a luminary site for several corporations
including McKesson with whom we continue to work on helping them
develop their industry leading picture archiving and communication
systems. We are also one of a handful of corporate strategic partners
for Philips. We have state-of-the-art equipment that we continue to
help Philips refine and integrate into daily clinical practice.
Specifically, we are doing ground-breaking diagnostic cardiac MRI
work with the 3 Tesla field strength magnet in a continuing collaborative effort with Drs. Tim Christian and Mark Tischler of the
Department of Cardiology. Similarly, we are working with Dr. Matt
Watkins in the development of 40- and 64-slice cardiac CT. We are
particularly proud of these collaborations between the members of
the Division of Cardiology and Drs. George Gentchos and Curtis Green
of our Radiology Department. It is precisely this type of collaboration
that will define diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms in the future,
and we are on the cutting edge of that type of work.
Under the leadership of our residency director, Dr. Kristen DeStigter,
we have increased the size of our Diagnostic Radiology Residency
Program to 17 residents, hopefully on our way to a full complement of
20. Our residency program continues to be strong and very competitive,
matching top medical students from across the country.
Finally, Dr. Bruce Tranmer, the Chair of Neurosurgery; Dr. Robert
Hamel, Chair of Neurology; Dr. Bob Pierattini, Chair of Psychiatry, and
I are working together to create and define a Neuroscience Center of
Excellence. It is our belief that the seeds of these collaborative efforts,
backed by support from the University and Fletcher Allen Health Care,
will lead to stronger interdepartmental bonds, better patient care, and
a model for increasing the productivity of translational research.

DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY
STEVEN SHACKFORD, M.D.
(Frank Ittleman, M.D., became Interim Chair in September 2006.)
The Department of Surgery continued to flourish and grow during the
past academic year. New surgeons were added to the Divisions of
Ophthalmology, Vascular Surgery, Emergency Medicine, General
Surgery, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Clinical programs in
Vascular Surgery (endoluminal surgery) and General Surgery (minimally invasive surgery and bariatric surgery) were expanded to meet
increasing patient demand. The Department continued to emphasize
surgical outcomes and quality and continued to participate in the
American College of Surgeons National Trauma Databank, the
Northern New England Cardiovascular Study Group, and the Northern
New England Vascular Study Group. These national and regional
databases allow the Department to benchmark its outcomes with
national normative data.
During the past year, members of the Department participated
in medical missions to Central America, Peru and Haiti. Members of
the Department were elected to office in a number of professional
societies including the American Association for the Surgery of
Trauma, the New England Society for Colon and Rectal Surgery and
the New England Otolaryngologic Society.
Teaching continues to remain an important mission for the
Department. Faculty members continue to receive very high evaluations for their teaching of clinical core students. Dr. Shackford
received the Kroepsch-Maurice Excellence in Teaching Award from
the University of Vermont. He was the first faculty member in the
College of Medicine to receive such recognition. David McFadden,
M.D., was named Chair in October 2006 and begins his duties in
January 2007.
GENERAL CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER
RICHARD A. GALBRAITH, M.D., PH.D., PROGRAM DIRECTOR
The General Clinical Research Center at the University of Vermont,
one of 75 such centers nationwide, has been continually funded by
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for 42 years and was recently refunded for an additional five years with a $12.1 million grant
from the NIH. The Center serves as a shared resource to provide an
optimum 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 thus sits as a bridge between the increasingly
subspecialized worlds of basic and clinical science. During the last
year, a grant application was submitted to the NIH for a Clinical
and Translational Science Award. This new initiative will serve to
broaden the scope of GCRC-sponsored research to include not only
translational research but also community-based research throughout the State of Vermont. It will also have an educational component
allowing people to obtain M.S. or Ph.D. degrees in Clinical and
Translational Science.
Examples of subjects covered by recent key publications from
GCRC investigators include: maternal smoking and its association
with birth weight; increasing dietary palmitic acid decreases fat
oxidation and daily energy expenditure; and the detection of isolated
tumor cells in bone marrow comparing bright-field immunocytochemistry and ulticolor immunofluorescence.
Recent grant awards to GCRC investigators allow the study of
such subjects as: voucher-based incentives to treat pregnant smokers;
sentinel node vs. axillary dissection in treating breast cancer; and
skeletal muscle protein metabolism in heart failure.
OFFICE OF HEALTH PROMOTION RESEARCH
BRIAN S. FLYNN, SC.D., DIRECTOR
The Office of Health Promotion Research (OHPR) is a nationally
recognized center dedicated to research on critical behaviors affecting
population health.
The Vermont Breast Cancer Surveillance System, led by Berta
Geller, records all mammography performed in Vermont, and links
these reports to pathology and cancer registry data for individual
women. The VBCSS is one of six collaborating centers funded by the
National Cancer Institute. This consortium has received international
recognition for contributions to practice and utilization of screening
mammography. Dr. Geller also leads studies addressing breast cancer
screening behavior among cancer survivors and colorectal cancer
screening among low education adults.
The OHPR is conducting a multi-state test of mass media campaigns to reduce youth cigarette smoking. Brian Flynn is project
leader for assessment of strategies to reach audiences through radio
and television messages and assessment of message impact on smoking prevalence; Laura Solomon is project leader for evaluating impact
of cessation messages on adolescent smokers. A similar project
addresses marijuana use prevention. We recently published a report
evaluating the relative impact of community and mass media strategies on reduction of youth alcohol use.
Development of effective smoking cessation programs for adults
has been a priority area. Dr. Solomon collaborates on studies assessing
impact of counselling and incentives on smoking cessation in pregnant
women, and has made significant contributions to assessment of
cessation services through telephone counseling. Dr. Theodore Marcy
is developing methods to assist primary care physicians to implement
national cigarette cessation guidelines for their patients.
Craig Trumbo is developing new research strategies on risk
perception and risk communication applied to topics as diverse as
cancer clusters and participation in cancer screening. Dr. Flynn is
collaborating with other investigators on development of strategies for
obesity prevention and application of cancer genetics in primary care.
Members of the group participate in scientific peer review committees and serve as advisors and leaders for public health activities
in Vermont and for national programs. Drs. Flynn and Marcy serve on
the state’s oversight board for tobacco control programs. Active
engagement with scientific peer review and public health practice
contributes to the relevance of our work.
VERMONT CANCER CENTER
DAVID YANDELL, SC.D., DIRECTOR (through September 2006)
JOHN P. FOGARTY, M.D. INTERIM DIRECTOR (beginning October 2006)
Formed in 1974 as one of a prestigious group of only 39
comprehensive cancer centers (as of 2006) designated by the
National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Vermont Cancer Center at
the University of Vermont and Fletcher Allen Health Care (VCC)
unites over 100 clinicians and scientists from departments of
the College of Medicine and other colleges and schools of the
University. Together, they design and carry out multidisciplinary
approaches to cancer research, prevention, and patient care in
alliance with Fletcher Allen.
In 2006, UVM and Fletcher Allen, as the sponsoring institutions,
bolstered the VCC tradition of leadership in the fight against cancer
by committing to strengthen the critical collaboration between
research and patient care—beginning with the opening of new
clinical areas in the Ambulatory Care Center called the Vermont
Cancer Center.
This year also saw the announcement that Dr. David Yandell
would step down from the directorship in September. In his eleven
years at the helm of VCC, Dr. Yandell developed the organization into
an inter-institutional center of excellence. During his tenure VCC
researchers have put Vermont on the international cancer-research
map through such projects as: identifying two colon cancer genes;
identifying a genetic marker to detect genetic damage from environmental factors; using this marker to provide the first physical evidence
that a pregnant woman’s exposure to passive smoking harms the
fetus; pioneering sentinel node biopsy as an alternative to more
invasive surgery, and the creation and promotion of mammography
registries around the nation.
Supported for more than 25 years by the NCI, VCC receives
additional external support from the Lake Champlain Cancer
Research Organization and many hundreds of community members
whose generous support has made a significant impact on advancing
our mission. VCC members receive individual investigator grants
from the NCI, National Institutes of Health, National Science
Foundation, and other sources. VCC researchers are focused in four
major programs. Some work to understand how cancer begins and
progresses, by learning more about DNA. Others try to elucidate the
differences between normal cells and cancer cells by exploring
critical cell signaling “switches” and “checkpoints.” A third group
focuses on patient care, developing and testing new cancer
treatment options. A fourth group explores ways to help people
adopt healthier lifestyles that reduce cancer risk. In addition, the
VCC organizes numerous community education conferences and
other events each year.

Supporting the Mission
ONE FOR THE AGES
Fiscal Year 2006 was a notable year for support of
the College of Medicine by alumni, organizations,
faculty, staff and friends who believe in the
missions of the school. Many of this year’s gifts
went toward endowments that support the kind
of continuing legacies—professorships, chairs,
lectureships, scholarships—that will serve the
College’s work in perpetuity.
One of the most gratifying aspects of this year’s philanthropy
has been the depth of community support it shows, from
large gifts like that of Michelle and Samuel Labow, M.D.,
of Stowe, Vt., and from the thousands of donations of every
size made to the Vermont Cancer Center. As ever, the best
philanthropic example to the community around us is the
support from our closest “family”—the more than 40% of
alumni who give to their medical alma mater, a participation
rate that is among the highest of the nation’s medical schools.
Enduring support helps the College remain true to its
mission. This support helped set an annual fund record
in fiscal year 2006, and saw total giving reach more than
$11.7 million. Thanks are due to each and every donor
who helped the College reach this milestone.

REMEMBERING A TEACHER,
COLLEAGUE, AND FRIEND
When faculty member Bruce Fonda died on October 5, 2005, seven
months after being diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme cancer,
the College lost one of the most familiar faces in its community.
Bruce taught Gross Anatomy to medical students for a quarter of a
century, and was often to be seen after hours, at formal ceremonies
and informal activities, mentoring and supporting students.
So it was not surprising that,
after Bruce’s death, medical
students at the College, led by
the members of the student
council, initiated a project to
memorialize and honor their
beloved teacher. With help
from the Dean’s Office, the
Department of Anatomy and
Neurobiology, and the office
of Medical Development and
Alumni Relations, the students
raised money to name the Bruce Fonda Game Room in the newlycompleted Student Lounge in the Given Building.
“Bruce worked hard to make us happy,” remembered Student
Council President Tom Harris of the class of 2007 (below). “The
way he touched the lives of so many students is a real legacy.”
Bruce’s oldest daughter Jen also spoke at the dedication. “I know
how much Dad always liked to incorporate fun into hard work,” she
said. “He was always inviting students over to the house to play
foosball. I know he’d love to see this room being used this way.”
More than 250 students, alumni, faculty and staff contributed a total
in excess of $25,000 to the Bruce J. Fonda Memorial Project. All
donations have been directed toward student and alumni support.
PHILANTHROPY AT THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
MEDICAL IRA ALLEN SOCIETY
UVM’s Ira Allen Society is named
in tribute to the University’s founder, who pledged the funds needed to establish
the institution. The following alumni, friends, parents, and faculty have made
generous leadership commitments of $1,000 or more in fiscal year 2006 (July 1,
2005–June 30, 2006) to the College of Medicine in this same spirit, and with a
strong belief in the value of the medical educational experience for students and
the community. We welcome them as members of the Medical Ira Allen Society,
the cornerstone of our private individual support.
