- Why Maine Medical Center:ÂPortland was a place I visited every summer with my family, and I have always enjoyed the beaches, hiking, and exploring the town. Each time I've been there, the area has felt like home–welcoming and tight-knit. I'm excited about the possibility of training in a place that, while not my hometown, feels like one. Maine Medical Center's community mirrors the city it resides in, and I am eager to be a part of it and contribute to it!
