Maine Medical Center

Faculty | Anesthesiology Residency

The faculty at MaineHealth Maine Medical Center (MHMMC) is a diverse and talented group of anesthesiologists dedicated to excellence in residency training. We are fortunate to have some of the best and brightest minds in anesthesia, many who have chosen to leave 'big city' programs and settle in Maine for its outstanding quality of life and opportunity to work in a nationally acclaimed medical center. The result is really good people doing great things. MHMMC is affiliated with Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM) and our faculty have academic appointments from TUSM.
