About Erin Vanzant

Dr. Vanzant earned her medical degree from the University of Texas School of Medicine at San Antonio and completed her general surgery residency training at the University of Florida College of Medicine where she was recognized as the Distinguished Resident Dedicated to Teaching. She also completed fellowships in surgical critical care and acute care surgery at the University of Florida.

She is a past, peer-selected member of the UF Health Department of Surgery Education/Program Evaluation Committee, as well as the Quality Improvement Committee. Dr. Vanzant has also completed multiple other training programs such as Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma and Advanced Trauma Life Support.

In 2013, Dr. Vanzant was the recipient of the Collaborative Research Forum Scholarship at the 5th Annual Collaborative Research Forum in Phoenix, Arizona. In the same year, she was awarded the Shock Society Travel Grant for New Investigators at the 37th Annual Conference on Shock in San Diego, California. She has delivered multiple presentations, her most recent being the Diagnosis and Management of Acute Pulmonary Embolism.
