University of Vermont Psychiatry Residency

Residency Training Program

The Psychiatry Residency Program in Vermont graduated its fiftieth class in 2012. We are proud of our history and take pride in our graduates. Our long affiliation with the University of Vermont College of Medicine provides the vital academic grounding for educating our residents, while the sponsorship of Fletcher Allen Health Care (formerly the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont) affords both institutional context and a modern workplace. Our strength lies in our size, which promotes individual attention to each resident’s learning and facilitates the building of lifelong professional friendships.

The program accepts four residents per year, two of whom participate in a combined five-year general/child and adolescent psychiatry program. More information about the combined program can be found on the child and adolescent psychiatry training website. All four residents function as a single group until the PGY-IV year when the two child track residents begin full-time child psychiatry training.

The natural beauty of our location, the vibrancy of a surprisingly cosmopolitan small city, and the livability of Vermont itself are the reasons so many of us have come here to stay. The program is best described in the words of our residents, so please read on to see what they have to say.
