Podcast: Growing Rural Health Care - Inside UVM Health’s Family Medicine Residency Programs
Learn how the next generation of physicians are thinking about practicing medicine in rural America.
Only 10% of physicians practice in rural areas — and just 1% of graduate medical training programs are located in rural communities, meaning many, if not most, providers-in-training aren’t exposed to rural health care at all.
We explore two residency programs that buck this trend: the Family Medicine Residency Programs at University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, VT and Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital in Plattsburgh, NY.
Learn how the next generation of physicians are thinking about practicing medicine in rural America, and dive into how these programs have found success in both attracting medical students and keeping physicians in our communities after they graduate.
