UVM recently unveiled a new plastinated anatomy lab, giving health sciences students an innovative way to study the human body.

Funded through a federal appropriation secured by former Senator Patrick Leahy to support UVM's growing occupational therapy program, the lab features professionally prepared specimens that are long-lasting and highly detailed. Students can explore muscles, nerves, and organs in three dimensions without needing to perform dissections.

Part of a broader investment in advanced teaching spaces, the lab is already making a difference in how students learn and prepare for patient care.

It’s summer, and Rowell Building is quieter than usual, but the hallways are still filled with focused activity as HLTH 2530 Emergency Medical Technician students put their skills to the test in a staged mock school bus crash.

In this course with Nursing Professor Tyler Molleur, students are preparing for the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians exam through hands-on, scenario-based training. Clinical simulation events challenge them to lead teams, think critically under pressure, and demonstrate a full range of essential hands-on skills. From patient assessment and airway management to trauma response, CPR, and emergency care across the lifespan, these future EMTs are building the knowledge and judgment needed to save lives.

After five years of thoughtful leadership, Dean Noma Anderson is preparing to retire, and the CNHS community is reflecting with gratitude.

Joining UVM in 2021 during an unprecedented time, she led with clarity and care, expanding programs, improving facilities, and strengthening our commitment to health equity and collaboration. But her greatest impact may be in how she led.

“Noma’s leadership is rooted in bridge building. . . she gives everybody grace - to be themselves and to grow.” - Provost Linda Schadler

“She leads with kindness, respect, and the ‘platinum rule’ - treating others how they want to be treated. She leaves people better than she found them.” - Dr. Michael Cannizzaro

Thank you, Dean Anderson, for your kindness, vision, and dedication to the success of CNHS.
