Harry Colt, MD
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine
University of Virginia Family Practice Residency, Charlottesville
Harry became the Program Director in 2007.
Harry attended Harvard College and Case Western Reserve Medical School. Case was a militant hotbed of family medicine enthusiasts and Harry spent summers coordinating health fairs in rural Kentucky and Southern Ohio, which helped confirm his commitment to rural family medicine. After a year of work and travel, Harry moved to Virginia for residency and chief residency. On graduation, he worked with the Indian Health Service in Zuni, New Mexico, where his residency training was balanced by practical experience. After four years in Zuni, Harry moved to Macfarland,Wisconsin, where he practiced the broad spectrum of family medicine.
In 1995, he joined the Maine-Dartmouth faculty. “I interviewed at Maine-Dartmouth and didn’t need to look anywhere else. I was struck by several things: the diversity of the faculty and residents, their commitment to the underserved, and their sense of community and support for each other…Twelve years later, the faculty, staff, and residents still teach me a lot and the community continues to nourish me.”
Harry lives on 35 acres with his partner, Sandy, and his father-in-law, Charles, and various horses, chickens, and dogs. His interests include organic gardening (fruits, vegetables, and brambles), swimming, and cross country skiing. Professionally, he remains a determined generalist, with particular interests in pediatrics, practice management, and of course, residency training.
