The Culture of Giving

At the 2018 White Coat Ceremony in October, many members of the Class of 2022 met graduates of past classes who were on campus for the ceremony. Francis Mtuke’22 had a very special meeting with one alumnus, Vito Imbasciani, M.D.’85. Francis is the current Imbasciani/DiSalvo Scholar. Established by Dr. Imbasciani and his husband, George DiSalvo, in 2017, the Imbasciani/DiSalvo Scholarship supports a medical student for all four years of their education, and fosters a diverse and inclusive student body that reflects the patients future physicians will serve throughout their careers.

You too can support the next generation of society’s caregivers. For more information, please contact the Medical Development & Alumni Relations Office. (802) 656-4014 | [email protected] | www.med.uvm.edu/alumni
