Welcome to I.M. Vermont

We are the residents of a small academic internal medicine residency located in Burlington, Vermont. Our training hospital, Flecther Allen, serves as both a community hospital and a tertiary care center, and the residency is closely integrated with the Unversity of Vermont and its medical school. We believe we receive excellent medical training, have opportunities to do cutting edge research, and are able to maintain lives outside of the hospital.

Enjoy the glimpse into our lives. If you are planning on entering the Residency Match, we invite you to visit.

R2 D2

Shep 4 aka "3rd world ICU"

R2 Tristan Blackburn is having "great fun" on Day 2 on Heme Onc. As she nervously laughs and fidgets with her HISPROD discharge summary she stated that she could not understand why anyone would'nt want to be a new R2.

"Why be an intern when you can have your patient load and responsibility double?"

Tristan already loves being here longer and feeling like she has to make all the decisions on patients that she may or may not have seen.

"I feel more loved, you know?" as she casually took a fake drag from her MRSA filled Non-DrugRep BIC pen..."I mean look behind me...in the 30 seconds of talking to you, there are 4 nurses waiting to see me. They look nervous...It must be because they think I'm famous and want my autograph...I'm just so blessed to be here and so happy I gave up my American Idol try out for this."

Tristan is quite the generous resident and plans on sharing her joy and educational experiences with Sukit "So Sweet" Ringwala - new R1.

"Soon he'll [Sukit] be as happy as I am...I'm just so glad we can experience this together".
