Pitt's annual health sciences symposium is getting a new name!
The University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences has renamed its annual symposium at Naples, Florida, to the Vanscoy Winter Academy to honor a major commitment from Bethann and Gordon J. Vanscoy (PHARM ’84, BUS ’91G).

Welcome, Alumni!
For more than a century, the University of Pittsburgh has been a destination of distinction for health sciences education and research, a training ground producing dedicated professionals to serve the public good and a wellspring of scientific discoveries to advance human health.
A Powerful Partnership
At the University of Pittsburgh, students pursuing careers in the health sciences are immersed in a culture that values interprofessional team-based care. Interprofessionalism is becoming the standard of practice in all health care settings, as recommended by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine; World Health Organization; and many of our most respected professional societies. Interprofessional practice and education are now included in accreditation standards for schools of nursing, dental medicine, public health, pharmacy and osteopathic medicine, as well as those that offer programs in physical and occupational therapy. At Pitt, we not only embrace this concept, we aspire to be a national model for its implementation. (Photo provided by Joe Appel Photography.)
