Why MaineHealth Maine Medical Center?
Having lived in Boston for 5 years prior to medical school, my husband and I used to make trips up to Maine for hiking and food adventures. MaineHealth is not only in such a wonderful town, but the program and hospital offer unique opportunities for personal growth, academic rigor, and unparalleled breadth of training - compared to other programs in New England.
