Is there a difference between the Augusta and Fairfield clinic sites?
The Family Medicine Institute is located across the street from MaineGeneral Medical Center, Augusta campus. The FMI serves patients from Augusta as well as from surrounding rural areas. Due to its location, more patients of the FMI are able to walk to the clinic, and we have notable exposure to patients with chronic mental health issues from the nearby state psychiatric hospital. The Maine Dartmouth Family Medicine Center in Fairfield is approximately 5 miles from the MaineGeneral Medical Center, Waterville campus. It has a more rural setting and a smaller patient volume, thus it has fewer providers and staff. The Fairfield practice is notable for its numbers of pediatric patients, in part because our faculty pediatrician is primarily based in that site. Each site has its own “personality” – visiting both during the interview day is helpful in discerning between the two. Both have excellent faculty and staff, and both provide good exposure to a wide variety of clinical situations.
