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.

Twins?

Attending Mark Pasanen and Resident Nathaniel Price exchange fashion advice. They look happy, but when they separated each remarked, "can you believe he wore that tonight?"Don't they look excited to be working all night?

Moving on

Paul "smooth as silk" Slavik rides himself into the sunset. We'll miss his ties and lamentations on d dimers. His ability to tell it how it is (some have compared him to Dr.Dre or Gordon Lightfoot) and manage effectively will be left behind as he enters the lavish lazy pimp'd out lifestyle as an internal med attending/Hospitalist here at FAHC. He looks fwd to talking to the other side of the lake and accepting multiple class 4 transfers as he telephones his orders in while accepting ortho admissions... Good luck. Oye oye:the chief has left the building. This mesage was sponsored by novartis.... Just kidding.....the interweb is free folks... Ride or die Paul...

Vermont Lake Monster Baseball

Evey and I (pictured) put on our baseball hats and took Marni to a free Lake Monsters game. The Fletcher Allen Spirit Team handed out free tickets to all FAHC employees and their families. They are organizing two more free games later this summer on July 16th and August 23rd. Evey also received a free mini-bat that she enjoyed swinging wildly.

The final intern leaves the building - Hooray Curt!

Curt "the hitman" Weaver (because he is silent but deadly when it comes to battling disease) emerged from the depths of overnight call and claimed the title of "last intern out". He signed out to the new interns with the authority and malaise of an upper level resident.

Nurses and secretaries howled in agony as they heard Curt step out into the linoleum and proclaim his departure because they could deny no further the futility and sorrow they will have in correcting the new interns badly written orders. Curt walked out with a sausage egg McClure in one hand while the other hand was used as a fake hand pistol. Curt made shooting noises as he pointed his finger fashioned pistol at everyone he passed till he exited into the sunrise (a little girl cried asking for her mommy as Curt fake shot her)

Congrats to the old R1s transitioning to the R2 year. Good bye to the Prelims - we'll miss you. Stay tuned when Curt experiences his first 161 rage...It will be amazing.
