Why Maine Medical Center

I’m excited to be part of the Leadership in Preventive Medicine fellowship at Maine Med because of the opportunity to continue to learn about the community I have gotten to know through living here before medical school and during residency. I’m looking forward to fostering relationships with community partners, supporting community-identified needs, and learning from community wisdom. The design of the fellowship emphasizes all of these things both through intentional curricular design and through a flexible schedule that will allow me to pursue these interests with the support of faculty.

Why Maine Medical Center

Great training with many local partnerships in a community that is close to my home, a bit of “choose your own adventure�� flexibility within the fellowship to pursue interests that already do, or may come to exist during training.
