The high-energy fundraiser began in 2022 to raise money for cancer initiatives at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.

The initiative aligns with the Office of Rural Health’s mission to improve the health and well-being of rural veterans and the VA’s priority of becoming a learning health care system.

The pediatric outpatient antibiotic stewardship project is the first implementation project funded at VUMC as part of the PCORI Health Systems Implementation Initiative, which aims to reduce the estimated 17-year gap between evidence publication and clinical application.

The study seeks to understand the mechanisms of colorectal cancer and builds on recent Vanderbilt research.

Each year, Doximity Residency Navigator publishes residency program rankings by specialty which are “powered by peer nominations, ratings and hand-written reviews.”

Many of these endowed directorships at VUMC are funded by generous donors who are passionate about making a meaningful difference in research and patient care.
