The Department of Emergency Medicine at the Larner College of Medicine (LCOM) at the University of Vermont (UVM) is seeking a nationally recognized clinician educator and collaborative leader to direct its Residency Program. Appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor in the Clinical Scholar Pathway will be commensurate with years of experience and accomplishments. In the last 7 years, our Department has grown from 20 to 70 faculty physicians as we have expanded across multiple sites, we have built a residency and four fellowship programs, and many of our emergency physicians hold leadership roles throughout our College of Medicine, our Network Medical Group, and our UVM Health Network. Established in 2018, our three-year ACGME-accredited program trains eighteen residents (six per class). The Program Director (PD) will lead a residency leadership team including Assistant and Associate PDs and a GME Program Administrator. The PD will report to the Division Chief of Education (currently the inaugural PD) and the Chair of Emergency Medicine. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the Vice Chair of Academic Affairs, our Fellowship Directors, and our Clerkship Directors to ensure program excellence.
About UVM
The mission of the UVM Department of Emergency Medicine is to deliver patient-centered, equitable, high-value, comprehensive and cutting-edge emergency care to all patients throughout an integrated rural health network; to provide exemplary education for students, resident physicians, and practicing health care providers; to train them in compassionate and effective health care leadership; to engage in innovative scholarship and high-impact research; and to lead in public service and advocacy in a collaborative and welcoming environment. In our mission to elevate rural care delivery to the highest standards, nearly all of our faculty work both in our academic center (UVMMC) and one or more of our six rural, community, or critical access hospitals. Our faculty group represents sixteen subspecialty areas in EM and brings together a diverse group from all over the country, offering new ideas and perspectives as we continue to innovate in our dynamic healthcare environment. Our training environments provide residents and students with the ideal balance between academic/tertiary EM and rural/resource-limited EM. Our EM residents learn to independently care for patients with confidence so that they can graduate and practice in any setting across the wide spectrum of emergency care.
