We are proud to share the 2024 MaineHealth Academic Affairs’ integrated annual report. There is so much going on here in Innovation, Medical Education, and Research that exemplifies our Mission and is advancing us toward our Vision, and only a small fraction ever makes it into our annual report. Please take this report as representing the tip of the iceberg. I hope you can use this as an entry point into learning more about the great work.
