The Family Medicine Residency Program at the UVM Medical Center and University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine emphasizes the cornerstones of Family Medicine:
- Providing top-quality comprehensive health care for patients of all ages
- Promoting health maintenance for individuals, families and communities
- Preparing Family Doctors for practice in all settings
The program is designed to develop the personal and professional skills you need as a family physician. Your clinical training is complemented by academic and research opportunities to give you the confidence and expertise you'll need for your continuing growth within family medicine.
Program Goals
Train competent, compassionate, full-spectrum Family Medicine Physicians who can practice in diverse practice settings.
Develop Family Physicians who are prepared for the future, as well as attuned to population health and quality of care.
Develop longitudinal relationships through humanism and connection- key elements of our relationships with patients and each other - the “heart” of UVM Family Medicine.
