University of Vermont Medical Center — Burlington, VT

As Vermont's only academic medical center, the University of Vermont Medical Center is the tertiary referral hospital for roughly one million people across Vermont and northern New York — and the state's only hospital with a NICU.

• Vermont's only adult Level I trauma center (and an ACS-verified Level II pediatric trauma center) — and the first hospital in the U.S. verified for both adults and children — anchoring the region's trauma care since 1994.
• The only NICU in Vermont (Level III), so neonatal nurses here cover the state's most fragile newborns.
• Primary teaching hospital of UVM's Larner College of Medicine, with comprehensive cardiovascular care, a primary stroke and STEMI center, and the UVM Cancer Center.
• A 45-bed emergency department (10 beds for trauma and resuscitation) running more than 65,000 visits a year, with a separate pediatric ED tied to the UVM Children's Hospital, and roughly 1,300 trauma admissions annually.
• The trauma program also handles burn-related surgery and surgical critical care, widening the case mix for ICU and ED nurses.
• A dedicated trauma elevator runs patients straight from the ED to third-floor ORs — a detail that says a lot about how the place is built to move.
