Our residency program began as a joint project of community hospitals in the Kennebec Valley region, the Veterans' Administration Hospital of Togus, Maine, and a rural research and development organization, Medical Care Development, Inc. The oldest family medicine residency among those still in existence in New England, MDFMR was initially accredited in 1973 - as described in Pulitzer Prize-winning author John McPhee's "Heirs of General Practice."We affiliated with Dartmouth Medical School (now the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth) in 1979 and were incorporated as the Maine-Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency (MDFMR) in 1980.
We are an accredited 10-10-10 community-based family medicine residency program with advanced training opportunities in geriatric medicine, sports medicine, and osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine. We also provide clinical education for medical students. MDFMR is located in central Maine, in the capital city of Augusta, with additional practice sites approximately 20 miles north in the towns of Waterville and Fairfield, Maine. We are about a 3 hour drive north of Boston, an hour north of Portland Maine, and about an hour from mid-coast Maine.
Maine-Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency is committed to cultivating a training and working environment that is equitable and inclusive, and reflects a culture of openness and appreciation of difference. Land Acknowledgment: MDFMR is located in Augusta, Waterville, and Fairfield, Maine. We train and work within homelands of the five tribal nations comprising the Wabanaki Confederacy (Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Abenaki, Penobscot).
The Residency manages six clinical practices: three family medicine practices; a dermatology practice; a neuromusculoskeletal medicine practice; and a geriatric medicine practice. Two of the family medicine practices (Maine Dartmouth Family Practice and Family Medicine Institute) are primary outpatient training sites for resident physicians; all three offer full-spectrum primary care services.
