It is a pleasure to introduce you to our Family Medicine Residency Program at the University of Vermont and Fletcher Allen Health Care. We are eager to answer your questions and demonstrate the pride and enthusiasm we have for family medicine and the Program in our community.

Increased complexity and technology in medicine today highlight the need more than ever for the well trained family physician to be the patient focused member of the team. Today's family physicians provide comprehensive, continuous, and high quality medical care in the hospital, office, and community settings. The residency program here at the University of Vermont will prepare you for the full scope of family practice for the future.

These are dynamic times for medicine. The exciting strategic changes made in the organizational structure of the College of Medicine, Medical Center, and Department over the past seven years reflect our positive response to that challenge.

The decision you face is a complex one as you balance your personal and professional needs to find the best residency program. After reviewing our information, we hope you will want to learn more about the University of Vermont Family Medicine Residency Program and the many opportunities and resources available in this area.
