Why MaineHealth Maine Medical Center?
Maine Med stood out as a program that provides excellent training and fosters community. I knew that MMC would nurture my passion for caring for rural and underserved communities and give me broad exposure to the medical needs of the entire state. I am grateful to work with a close-knit group of residents and live in such a cool city!
