What did you do before medical school?
I took 4 gap years and lived in MA, VT, UT, and WA all prior to ME - lots of adventures to be had in that time! I did research work in clinical trials and a masters program but mostly skied and adventured with friends and had a grand time
Why MaineHealth Maine Medical Center?
Definitely the people - everyone who works here is so down to earth! Mentors and advisors are invested in your education but also in your passions outside of the hospital and making sure you have time for life outside medicine. Also, MHMMC is a blend of community hospital and academic center which I thought would be a great experience for residency. Lastly, Portland is such a fun city - it's a short drive to mountains and right on the ocean and has a great restaurant and brewery scene!
