There are 6 physician-owned endocrinology practices in Vermont, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
Before you accept a hospital offer in Vermont, see how many physician-owned endocrinology groups already exist. The answer is 8, and it changes everything you can ask for in negotiation.
From your first MCAT prep book to your last in-training exam, the next step was always pre-written. Someone handed you the syllabus. You showed up. You did the work.
Most endocrinology physicians sign their first contract without knowing how many other groups exist within driving distance. This is the single largest source of leverage you give away in your career, and you give it away because nobody told you the information was out there. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.
Hospital-employed, government-operated, and academic positions are excluded. These are not independent private practices:

Then PGY-Final arrives. Suddenly there is no syllabus, no advisor telling you which clause to push back on, no upperclassman who has done this before. There is only a contract and a clock.
Nobody is telling you what other endocrinology practices exist in Vermont, what the contract really says, or which lawyer to call. The senior people in your program signed without reading because they had no guide either. This directory is the first page of the map.
I built this directory by starting with the NPPES NPI Registry, the federal database where every medical practice in the country has to register. From there, I filtered Vermont's endocrinology listings down to practices that are genuinely physician-owned. That means no hospital-employed roles, no academic faculty positions, no corporate-acquired clinics. What you're looking at is 8 independent endocrinology practices across 3 cities in Vermont.
What makes this useful is specificity. Instead of scrolling through a job board where hospital positions, locum postings, and real private practice opportunities all look the same, you get a focused list of physician-owned endocrinology practices in Vermont. Every one has been verified through the federal NPI registry. Contact information and websites are included so you can start your research without a recruiter standing between you and the practice.
Vermont's physician-owned endocrinology directory lists 6 practice locations across 3 cities.
None of the endocrinology practices listed in Vermont carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices are located in Berlin, Middlebury, and Rutland.
See what is out there. Read the contract. Get a physician-specific attorney to sign off. In that order.
You are already here. 6 physician-owned endocrinology groups in Vermont, vetted against NPPES.
The Real Contract walks you through every clause that matters: non-compete, productivity, tail coverage, partnership track.
A vetted directory of physician-contract attorneys in Vermont. The person on your side should be one who actually does this work.
Not because they did not care. Because nobody handed them the map. Now there is one.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 6 physician-owned endocrinology private practices in Vermont, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
A physician-owned practice is one where licensed physicians hold controlling ownership of the business entity. This is distinct from hospital employment, corporate medical groups, or private equity-backed practices where non-physician entities control the business.
The Corporate-Acquired flag means the practice was historically physician-owned but has since been acquired by a corporate entity such as Optum. The MSO-Affiliated flag means the practice uses a Management Services Organization for billing and administration while physicians retain practice-level ownership.
Vermont doesn't have physician-owned independent endocrinology practices in this directory. Most endocrinology positions are hospital-employed or part of larger health systems.
NPPES is the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, a federal database maintained by CMS. Every practice in this directory has an active NPI record in NPPES, confirming it is a registered U.S. medical practice.
Private endocrinology practices in Vermont commonly add: DEXA scanning for osteoporosis (technical component revenue), in-house laboratory services (HbA1c, thyroid, metabolic panels with a CLIA-certified lab license), continuous glucose monitor (CGM) supply dispensing, and DSMES (Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support) programs. Each adds revenue beyond E&M billing without requiring new physician FTEs. Ask any prospective practice which of these services are active and how the revenue is distributed.
