MMC fills a dual role, as both a community hospital and a tertiary care center. The high quality care, advanced technology, and well-trained professionals at MMC have made it the major referral center north of Boston. At the same time, MMC also delivers excellent routine medical and surgical care to its community.

As a single-hospital sponsor, MMC currently supports over 240 residents and fellows in several residencies and fellowship programs all approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Each program is the responsibility of a full-time program director and more than 500 highly qualified attending physicians serve as faculty. House officers benefit from the close personal and professional relationships that they develop with members of the attending staff. Clinical practice is supported by an excellent nursing and allied health professional staff and a highly skilled ancillary staff.
