Meet School of Medicine Emeritus and Emerita Faculty members
The School of Medicine values and encourages the continuing academic and intellectual engagement of its emeritus and emerita faculty. It therefore strives to support and recognize such faculty who wish to continue contributing to their academic disciplines in ways beneficial to the University and the community. Each week, the Emeriti group holds a virtual meeting which may include scholarly presentations from Emeriti colleagues, VUSOM faculty and guests. Please contact debra.emory-utzig@vumc.org to obtain the conference call information.
