VMS
Education and
Research Foundation
The VMS sponsors a nonprofit charitable organization that supports educational
and research activities in the field of health. The foundation provides grants
to deserving medical students at the University of Vermont College of Medicine
through the Dr. Mildred Reardon Scholarship. The intent of such grants is to
provide an incentive for candidates to pursue a career in medicine and to
provide motivation for graduates to practice in Vermont. All contributions to
the foundation are tax deductible.
The foundation also
provides educational loan repayment to physicians already in practice who have
demonstrated a commitment to working in underserved areas of Vermont, or who
work with underserved populations.
The governance of the
foundation is a board which includes the VMS president, treasurer, and the
chairs of the VMS Investment and Awards Committees; the dean of the UVM College
of Medicine and two additional at-large directors.
