VIGH Global Health Symposium Photos and Video

The Vanderbilt community came together on Monday, September 25, to recognize the leadership of Sten Vermund M.D., Ph.D., Founding Director of VIGH and highlight the work of faculty, staff and students since its inception in 2006. The day’s events included Grand Rounds, and the Global Health Symposium with keynote speaker, Kayvon Modjarrad, M.D., Ph.D. The day ended with a reception to honor and celebrate Dr. Vermund’s contributions to Vanderbilt and Nashville. His passion and commitment to global health has inspired countless students, colleagues and friends. We wish him all the best at Yale and look forward to continued collaborations and lasting friendships.
