Why MaineHealth Maine Medical Center?
MMC seems like a place where residents genuinely enjoy being there and truly support one another. I’ve loved getting a glimpse of that on IG and can’t wait to be part of that culture. Being in Portland by the water is another big draw for me. On top of that, the program offers strong training with exposure to a wide range of patient populations, including rural and refugee communities, along with research support and in-house fellowships. I think it will provide a great foundation for whatever path I choose after graduation.
