Abstract

The surgical residency at Maine Medical Center is the only surgical residency in Maine. Established in 1947, it presently graduates four categorical residents/year. The residency is a classic example of a "hybrid" residency, retaining the benefits of a community program in terms of large operative experience in a wide variety of procedures, while at the same time allowing for academic exposure through a university affiliation.
