University of Vermont Family Medicine Residency
Ranked #5 in the nation for primary care education, our Family Medicine Residency Program at UVM & Fletcher Allen emphasizes the cornerstones of 
family medicine:
- providing top-quality comprehensive health care for patients of all ages
- managing patients in an office setting
- promoting health maintenance for families
The program is designed to develop the personal and professional skills you need as a family physician. Your clinical training is complemented by academic and research opportunities to give you the confidence and expertise you'll need for your continuing growth within family medicine.
Our family medicine residency program works to provide an environment that is rich in resources, role models, encouragement, and guidance and has a distinguished record of graduating excellent family doctors. Our residents have readily passed their Board examinations and quickly establish themselves as successful practitioners. Approximately half of our graduates have chosen to practice in Vermont; the rest are located throughout the United States.
The University of Vermont College of Medicine and Fletcher Allen established the family medicine residency program in 1974. The Program fulfills all requirements of the American Board of Family Medicine and has been fully approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education since 1975. The Familcy Medicine Residency Program is at full capacity with eighteen residents.
During the program's first year, you will begin to develop your own office practice. This component of the family medicine residency includes managing patients in prepaid health plans, as well as privately insured, Medicare, and Medicaid patients. As you progress through the program, the care of ambulatory patients becomes more and more important. As a family medicine resident, you will also benefit from excellent training on inpatient services in all major specialties, and on inpatient family medicine rotations. Our relationships with other University departments are excellent, and family medicine residents are valued by the residents and attending physicians of other services.
The Program has its own dedicated inpatient family medicine service run by residents and family medicine faculty. We are currently receiving federal grant support to teach culturally competent healthcare and for our maternal-infant care.
The Family Medicine Center is a group family physician practice. The Center is equipped with computer systems to track a patient's clinical and financial data, as well as your clinical experience. As a resident, you will have ample opportunity to build computer skills and learn office management. In addition, there is a medical library and high speed internet connections with access to Up-to-Date and other sources to provide quick access to the medical literature.
