Dear Alumni,
What a wonderful year of celebration and connection it was in 2025! Between our School of Medicine’s 150th anniversary celebration last spring and the return to an annual Reunion program last fall, we were grateful to engage with many of you when you returned to Nashville for those milestone events.
Building on a wonderful year of engagement, 2026 is a year of exploration for us. We continue to strive for ways to expand and deepen our alumni engagement — both with you directly and connecting you with each other. We will partner with several of our Vanderbilt Health specialty society groups to host on-the-road events at conferences throughout the year and regional events in Denver and Philadelphia. We will also host our VUSM Reunion on Oct. 15-17, and look forward to welcoming classes that end in -1 and -6, with a special celebration for our 50th anniversary Class of 1976.
Engagement with VMAA isn’t limited to event attendance. We hope that you received our mailer earlier this year, inviting you to complete our “2026 Alumni Engagement Survey.” Your response to this survey is extremely important to us as we work with our Board of Directors to chart our path forward. Haven’t completed it yet? Scan the QR code below. We’ll be collecting responses until the end of April.
We hope 2026 brings you an opportunity to reconnect with the Vanderbilt Medical Alumni Association. We can’t wait to see you!
