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.

Tour De Zech....



Resi-cyclist Zech Gardner rocked out in the Green Mountain Stage Race Citizens stage. It entailed 75 miles from the Sugarbush Resort to Brandon and back up to finish at the summit of the App Gap (Appalachian Gap) . When asked about the hardest part of the race, most racers mentioned the 4.4 miles of steep downhill. Zech mentioned that at mile marker 74.6 there is a "Caution - Moose Crossing Area".
"That was really hard because I really like moose...they really are the monarchs of the North woods. Since I'm one with my new awesome bike I'm so fast, I would not want to hit one" (Click here to find out why moose is plural for moose) (Zech may not have said the above quote - though I can assure you that he likes moose)
Zech employs the fast cadence approach to mountains versus the power approach. Lance would be proud. Zech also is an official editorializer, specializing on "Sharing the road with cyclists" with the Burlington Free Press. Click on link: Zech, Resident, Cyclist, Editorialist
