- Why Maine Medical CenterAs a cardiology fellowship applicant with ties to the New England area, Maine Medical Center's program stands out as the sole cardiovascular medicine fellowship in the state of Maine, offering a unique opportunity. Being the largest referral center in Northern New England, the program guarantees exposure to diverse clinical volumes and complex cases, providing an ideal environment for comprehensive training and professional growth. This aligns perfectly with my background, having moved from the Northeast to the Midwest for residency, and now seeking to return to the region for fellowship.
