The general surgery program at the University of Vermont is centered on residents and supports our professional development. The focus is on building technical skills and clinical decision-making. In addition to supportive leadership, there exists an exceptional atmosphere of collaboration between residents, faculty, nurses, medical students, and other members of the healthcare team that is unique to our hospital system.

My favorite part of the UVM surgery program is the supportive and collaborative atmosphere between co-residents and attendings. We benefit from broad clinical experiences in which we can learn and grow our surgical skills and knowledge. Additionally, training in Burlington offers the perks of a small city with easy access to the outdoors.
