- Why Maine Medical Center?Across specialties, everyone only has tremendously good things to say about MMC and Maine in general. The radiology program has everything you want in a program - level 1 trauma, comprehensive stroke center, etc. - but is within a very convenient, livable, and fun city that is not bogged down with other big city concerns like excessive traffic or a work-aholic culture. Basically, MMC and Portland are a place I can thrive both professionally and personally.
