Though OP not going to UVM, I agree w/plumdandy - Vermont's actually a very good place to do your residency.
Research is their weakness, and they're trying hard to bring some new people in. Teaching is their strength, and they make it a point to buy/learn to use any new anesthesiology "toy" on the market (they say if the surgeons can, so can they). Their grads do very well on the boards, and they match at excellent fellowships (mostly at Boston). They're not run by a private group. Residents were incredibly happy, and said they had a very healthy relationship w/both their attendings and the surgeons.
They don't seem DO friendly, I don't think they had any. They are definitely transfer friendly. Out of 6 spots, they save 2 for people transferring, and keep 4 for the match. They interview around 60 people to fill those 4 spots. Their transfers are usually of high caliber (plastics at Michigan, Peds at Wash U, etc . .), but they're considering increasing match spots to 5 due to the high caliber of applicants they received this year.
Overall, it's the type of place where you have to "fit" in due to location (fun town but somewhat small/rural), and size. Teaching will not be lacking, and fellowships should be easily attainable, but research may be hard to come by.
Dartmouth is similar (happy residents, great teaching, new facility, strong fellowships) but bigger, busier, w/better research, in a more rural location
