Vermont is a small state with one primary academic health system (UVM Medical Center, Burlington), a shared Upper Valley academic referral with NH (Dartmouth Health), and a network of critical access hospitals across the rural state. Vermont is an IMLC member.

Major health system credentialing (VT)

  • UVM Medical Center (Burlington): 120–150 days academic. University of Vermont's academic medical center — Level I trauma for VT and northern NY, VT Cancer Center, children's hospital.
  • Dartmouth Health Upper Valley (VT sites): 120–150 days; shares credentialing infrastructure with DHMC Lebanon NH.

What we see at Ava Health

Vermont has severe rural primary care shortages outside Burlington and the Champlain Valley. The Northeast Kingdom (Essex, Orleans, Caledonia counties) is among the most underserved rural regions in New England. VT + NH dual licensing is common for Upper Valley physicians. $349 fee and IMLC membership make Vermont cost-effective for New England multi-state coverage.
