Finding Purpose Across Borders: Why Canadian Physicians Choose UVM Health

For many physicians in Canada — including those practicing in Quebec — the search for professional fulfillment often leads to new opportunities. At UVM Health, we’ve welcomed numerous Canadian-trained and board-certified physicians who have found rewarding careers with us, whether they relocate to Vermont or northern New York or choose to commute across the border.

Flexibility That Fits Your Life

We understand that every physician’s situation is unique. That’s why we offer:

  • Commuting options for those who prefer to stay rooted in their home community.

  • Support for physicians ready to make Vermont or New York their new home.

  • Assistance with visa requirements and credentialing to ensure a smooth transition.

Our goal is simple: to help you build a future where your skills are valued and your career thrives.

Why Physicians Choose UVM Health

Canadian physicians tell us they appreciate:

  • Stability and autonomy in their practice environment.

  • A collaborative, patient-centered culture that prioritizes quality care.

  • Opportunities to teach, research, and grow professionally through our academic partnerships with the Larner College of Medicine.

Unlike some of the challenges physicians face elsewhere, our system is designed to support your success — not limit it. Here, you’ll find a health system that respects your expertise and gives you the tools to deliver the care you’re passionate about.

A Community That Feels Like Home

Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant culture of Burlington, Vermont, or the scenic beauty of the Adirondacks, life here offers balance: outdoor recreation, strong communities, and a slower pace without sacrificing professional opportunity.
