Nation's seventh oldest medical school, founded 1822, pioneering integrated medical education in Vermont.
The Larner College of Medicine offers a four-year Doctor of Medicine degree and PhD programs, along with a Certificate in Integrative Healthcare. The signature Vermont Integrated Curriculum (VIC) spans three levels: Level One (18 months) focuses on basic and clinical sciences; Level Two (12 months) involves clinical clerkships at UVM Medical Center and affiliated hospitals; Level Three continues advanced clinical rotations and internships. The curriculum balances traditional subject-based and contemporary organ/system-based learning. Approximately 120 students enter the MD program annually.
The college receives $90–100 million annually in external research funding and is classified as an R1 Top Tier Research University by Carnegie. Researchers work in laboratory, clinical, and community settings on disease understanding, wellness, and novel treatments. The institution emphasizes active-learning-based education that builds practical skills and critical thinking alongside research opportunities for students and postdoctoral fellows.
The primary teaching hospital is UVM Medical Center in Burlington. The college maintains affiliations with Danbury Hospital (Connecticut) and Norwalk Hospital (Connecticut), both in the New York metropolitan area. A long-standing affiliation with Maine Medical Center in Portland ended in February 2011. Clinical education integrates research and education missions into network departments focusing on public health, population health, health services research, and value-based care.
The entering class typically comprises 120 students. In 2022, the college enrolled 479 medical students, 329 graduate students, and 42 postdoctoral students.
