VCBH Lecture Series
Welcome to the VCBH Lecture Series. This lecture series was created for the greater UVM community as a way to interact and engage with top researchers in the intersectional fields we often work with at VCBH including, but not limited to, behavior
change, addiction, chronic disease, and health disparities for vulnerable populations. Due to COVID-19, our in-person lectures will be held virtually until it is safe to gather in person again. We look forward to sharing these lectures with a
wider audience. Look for registration information on this webpage and via our emails and social media channels. Please contact us with any questions or if you're interested in speaking.

In support of improving patient care, The Robert Larner College of Medicine at The University of Vermont is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
The University of Vermont designates this internet live activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA 1 Credit(s) TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
