Housing is in short supply. You don’t have to live right next to DH but I would find out your expected time to come in if your on call would be. Meaning if you’re expected to be there within 25 minutes then make sure you’re close enough. Also, with that do not just go by miles actually put it into a map app and get directions. A buddy of mine lives 9.5 miles away and it takes me a half hour to get to his house

I had been sorting by travel distance from DHMC when searching so that makes perfect sense. Distances are much more curvy here than in the midwest ha.

Yeah, a common New England saying is “you can’t get there from here.” Those pesky mountains tend to get in the way.

For example to get to my family in northern Maine I have to drive an hour south first to get to a more direct route.

In general, you'll find less east/west routes in the mountainous areas of NH and VT because, well that's just the way it is 😁
