Why MaineHealth Maine Medical Center?
The kindness and camaraderie of the residents and faculty was so clear and made it easy to picture myself in this community for the next 3 years. Opportunities like working at Preble Street and the MERGE collaborative epitomized what I love about family medicine, and being able to train in a place like Portland is hard to beat!
