      Why MaineHealth Maine Medical Center?
      
            On my interview day, I felt incredibly welcomed by the program leadership, and as I enter this intense part of training that is residency, I wanted a program that is supportive in every sense of the word. Plus, being from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, I love being near water so having access to the OCEAN is a pretty significant wellness perk.
