Unique Training Opportunities

1. Family Centered Maternity Care: Residents are required to complete four rotations in Maternity Care and perform a minimum of 50 deliveries.

2. Pediatrics: Residents have an opportunity while doing their three required rotations in Pediatrics to become involved in a High School-based Health Center (sponsored by CMMC and staffed by a Family Nurse Practitioner employed by the Residency), to attend day long child abuse evaluation clinics and work with Shriner's Hospital (Massachusetts) physicians during Burn and Orthopedic Outreach Clinics held twice yearly.

3. CMHVI (Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute) — opened 4/2003): Provides a wide variety of training opportunities for residents in longitudinal primary cardiac disease prevention as well as increasing the number of teaching physicians in the cardiology, intensive care, endocrinology, pediatric cardiology and surgery departments (to name just a few).
