University of New England

In sum, UNECOM excels in the formation of physicians who always put the patient first.

Since its founding in 1978, the College has had an extraordinary impact on the health care of Maine, New England, and the nation.  During that time, graduates of UNECOM have distinguished themselves as residents in the finest and most competitive residency programs throughout the United States. 

More importantly, UNECOM physicians have been putting the patient first in their communities in New England and the nation:

• 70% of its graduates practice in primary care disciplines (Family Medicine, General Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics & Gynecology). 
• State of Maine:  9% of practicing physicians are UNECOM graduates, comprising 15% of Maine’s primary care physician workforce.
• 24% of UNECOM graduates practicing in Maine serve in rural areas.
• New England:  17% of UNECOM graduates are practicing in medically underserved areas.  

The College features state-of-the-art facilities on its picturesque and tranquil oceanside campus.  Teaching and learning are at the forefront as students begin to experience UNECOM’s innovative Patient-First Curriculum in outstanding on-campus clinical learning laboratories for clinical skills, anatomy, and osteopathic manipulative medicine.

Centers of Excellence in Neuroscience and Pain as well as Community and Population Health augment the research mission of the College and provide opportunities for students to work with outstanding research faculty. 

UNECOM’s substantial clinical campus structure and academic affiliations with robust community-based hospital systems in the region and throughout the Northeast provide diverse settings in which students continue to practice putting the patient first.
