University of Vermont Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

The UVM OB/GYN residency is a university-based program anchored at UVM Medical Center, the sole tertiary referral center for Vermont and Northern New York, giving residents high clinical volume and early graduated autonomy within a quaternary-level referral catchment despite the program's small-city setting. On-site subspecialists across OB/GYN divisions maintain their own clinics and OR privileges, and residents train alongside Certified Nurse Midwives on Labor and Delivery, building a collaborative model of obstetric care rather than a purely physician-siloed structure. The program states its graduates go on to fellowship, academic medicine, and community practice alike, and faculty combine active clinical practice with scholarship, positioning research and mentorship as available but not singularly emphasized. Leadership foregrounds an intentional, learner-centered educational culture and personal qualities (curiosity, humility, teamwork) as explicit values in trainee development.
