Judith L. Lewis, MD (she/her/hers)

Physician
University of Vermont Medical Center
Burlington, Vermont, United States

Judith Lewis, MD is the Vice Chair of Education at the University of Vermont Medical Center (UVMMC) and the Pierattini Green and Gold Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine (UVM LCOM). She did her residency training at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital graduating in 1993 and completed psychoanalytic training at Columbia Center for Psychoanalysis in 1998. After moving back to her home state of Vermont in 2003, Dr. Lewis served as Director of Medical Student Education 2004-2009 and then Residency Training director from 2009-2021, after which she moved into her current roles (Vice Chair for Education and Director of Psychotherapy Training). Her scholarly work has been in education, co-creating two film curriculae on the learning environment and creating several award-winning multi-media e-modules including the mental status exam, trauma, personality disorders, and catatonia. Her strong interest in psychological trauma came from her clinical work: first private practice in New York City, then 16 years of inpatient work in Vermont, and in the last 5 years partial hospital and general outpatient work. Judy teaches at least two hours a week on psychotherapy, trauma, dissociation, personality and other topics to residents and medical students. She is a relatively new ISSTD member, and had one prior poster and one workshop presentation at ISSTD in 2025 on the pedagogy and stigma surrounding the diagnosis of DID within the field of psychiatry. For this conference, she is pleased to be co-presenting with a resident in her program, Jacob MacDonald MD, about their results from a second national resident survey about what is taught (and taught) about dissociative disorders.
