University of Vermont Medical Center Program
About This Program
Our fellows benefit from a high faculty to fellow ratio, allowing for strong formal and informal teaching and close mentorship. The smaller size and collegiality of our division creates a unique training environment where fellow input and feedback can translate into programmatic changes in a timely fashion. Fellows attend ACR Convergence as well as any local, region or national conference at which they are presenting their work. We fully support the completion of the USSONAR training program in
