We Offer Clinical and Educational Experiences

Our residency is a host Core Clerkship site for the entire third year of clinical experiences for the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNECOM). We accept a total of twelve students from UNECOM, who are matched to our site through a lottery process.
We also are a core site for 3rd-year Family Medicine Clerkships at Tufts University (Maine Medical) School of Medicine and Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.
We strive to provide an optimal learning experience by allowing students to be involved in all aspects of medical education. We will only schedule rotations when there is no conflict with resident education. Rotations are also available to students from other U.S., Canadian, and international medical schools.
