University of Vermont Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a small, academic dermatology residency (two residents per year) at Vermont's only academic medical center, built around broad first-hand exposure across clinical dermatology, dermatologic surgery, and dermatopathology rather than subspecialty siloing. The faculty complement—fourteen dermatologists including four Mohs surgeons, three dermatopathologists, and a pediatric dermatologist—supports in-house training across the full breadth of the field without relying heavily on outside rotations. Residents are expected to teach junior residents and students and are pushed toward scholarly output, presenting at regional/national meetings and publishing during training, but the program explicitly frames its mission as dual-track: preparing graduates for both academic/fellowship careers and general dermatology practice. Its small size functions as a deliberate feature, producing deep individual exposure to procedures and pathology rather than a large-volume, subspecialized tertiary-referral training model.
