Being an academic program we get to teach medical students on a regular basis outside of the clinical settings! Our interns Maddy and Kate just participated in some MSK teaching this afternoon to our third year students on FM clerkship!

Early winter in VT

You can find us on inpatient family medicine, labor & delivery, inpatient pediatrics, urgent care, and clinic. We each spend one month on each of these rotations during the first half of intern year!

But the best day of the week is Wednesday when we meet up for morning didactics & then all spend the afternoon together at clinic 🙌🏼
