Volunteers Needed - Respiratory Vaccine testing: Up to $1650 compensation. View the flyer for more information. Please call the UVM Vaccine Testing Center at 802-656-0013 for more information and to schedule a screen. Leave your name, number and a good time to call back. Email uvmvtc@uvm.edu or visit http://www.med.uvm.edu/vaccinetestingcenter.
Housing Opportunities for Medical Students: Graduate students are highly sought tenants in the Burlington area and property owners often advertise specifically to them with special rates (less than would be offered to undergraduate students); thus, the Office of Medical Student Education pulls together a list of housing opportunities posted specifically for this group, so you don't miss out on a good deal. Moreover, medical students also try to keep good spaces "in the family" and are known to post to this list. Please contact the Office of Medical Education if you have any questions. Don't hesitate to ask the contact if they would consider lowering the advertised rate to secure a graduate student; it never hurts to ask!
