Why Maine Medical Center?
As a community hospital with strong academic ties and high acuity, I feel I get the best of both worlds. The care is collaborative and evidence-based with ample opportunity to take initiative and engage in patient-centered projects. There is a great need for more gastroenterology in the state, and I hope my training helps me to better serve rural populations. I have loved being a resident at Maine Med and look forward to my ongoing proximity to the outdoors and top notch food scene as a fellow.
