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.

You down with ACP?




Oct 24th was our local Vermont Chapter American College of Physicians meeting (ACP) in Stowe, VT at the Von Trapp Family Lodge (yes they're real - click the link to determine if Maria looks like Julie Andrews). The hills were alive with the sound of poster and oral presentations. There were a total of 8 accepted Resident Poster Clinical Vignettes, 2 Resident Oral Presentations, and 3 Medical Student Posters. Our hard working residents were given time off their respective services to flex their academic prowess. Congratulations to our two winners (pictured below) :

Resident Poster winner: Nathaniel Price (Can I get a 3-peat?)

Resident Oral Presentation winner: Mia Hockett

Resident Participants: Chad Mitchell, Phil Skidd, Nate Thompson, Nick Lim, Alison Jaquith, Emily Anderson, Ellie Mueller, Natalie Sinclair

Nathaniel and Mia will be representing UVM at the National ACP meeting in Philadelphia at the end of the year. However, one could argue, that everyone was a winner: they all witnessed Attending /Assistant Program Director Mark Pasanen sporting a tie and sports coat for the first time in their known residency career ( he is also pictured above introspecting on the "Rock of Maria"in the background of foliage).

(Mia giving a thumbs up and Nathaniel giving the "why are you taking my picture again" pose)
