Field Experience Opportunities for Students

This page offers resources for students seeking field experiences in health-related fields within Maine.

Healthy Community Coalition (HCC) in Wilton, University of Maine at Farmington's Community Health Education Program Faculty, and a committed Community Health Workforce Development Board made up of 30 people from across the state, are working to address current and increasing shortages in the community health workforce by offering field experiences.  The board is also developing leadership opportunities for community health professionals.

This program is made possible by the generosity of The Bingham Program, a philanthropic endowment managed by New England Medical Center promoting innovative health programs in Maine.
