Why Maine Medical Center?
MMC offers exactly what I was looking for in a residency program – a kind, collegial community, down-to-earth residents and program leadership, and excellent, well-rounded clinical training. The program is thoughtfully designed, with a 4+2 block schedule alternating inpatient and outpatient weeks, and an academic half day every week to allow the mental space for focused learning. I also couldn’t think of a better way to do wellness in residency than to do residency in Maine! It’s beautiful, with amazing food, community, arts, and of course the outdoors. I am grateful to call this place home.
