University of Vermont Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

UVM's Diagnostic Radiology residency is a small (six per year), academically-affiliated program based at a single tertiary medical center serving a largely rural New England population, with subspecialized faculty across all clinical radiology domains and an explicit requirement that every resident complete and publish original research as a condition of graduating. The program emphasizes close-knit, high-touch training with extensive one-on-one teaching and independent call, and it maintains a distinctive global health pathway through Imaging the World, sending residents to Uganda, Malawi, and other international sites to teach and deploy point-of-care ultrasound. Graduates pursue both academic and private-practice fellowships, and the department supports translational imaging research through its Philips-partnered MRI Center for Biomedical Imaging. The program appears to value residents who thrive in a small, personally invested community and who are drawn to Vermont's outdoor, rural lifestyle as much as its clinical training.
