To our College of Medicine alumni:

With great sadness we are writing to confirm the death of Dr. Dan Van Durme, our senior associate dean for clinical and community affairs. As you may have heard, Dr. Van Durme was struck and seriously injured while riding his motorcycle from the College of Medicine to FSU PrimaryHealth on the afternoon of April 20.

He was hospitalized in the ICU at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare until Tuesday afternoon when his family allowed doctors to initiate the process of organ donation in keeping with Dr. Van Durme’s wishes.

He will be dearly missed by his College of Medicine family and so many others. His impact here, in the community and throughout Florida and other parts of the world is immeasurable.

There will be more about Dr. Van Durme on our website soon. In his honor, the college is establishing the Daniel Van Durme, M.D. Memorial Scholarship Fund. We will share that link when it becomes available.

I know you share my shock and sadness at this unfortunate news.

As students, you knew his enthusiasm for teaching and understood his passion for our college’s mission. You are perhaps the greatest part of his legacy. Please keep in mind the lessons he taught and honor him in the care you provide for others.

Sincerely,

Dr. Alma B. Littles
Interim Dean
