Special Features
We welcome your interest in our pediatric residency program. As the only Children's Hospital in Maine, our program offers ample exposure to primary and specialty care, advocacy, and scholarship opportunities. Graduates pursue primary care practices in rural and urban settings, or continue their training in pediatric fellowships. All this takes place in one of the most beautiful cities in the northeast. In an effort to support equity for applicants, we offer virtual interviews for positions.
