Our three-year program at UVM Medical Center in Burlington, Vermont's largest tertiary and Level 1 Trauma center, starts with a month-long orientation featuring search and rescue training, simulation, cadaver labs, and outdoor team-building. A two-day Ultrasound Boot Camp offers a crash course in point-of-care ultrasound, while interns work a few ED shifts to familiarize themselves with the department and team.
