In this first half of a two-part conversation, Elise Kiely sits down with Dr. Mike Bauman, Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Maine Medical Center and Professor at Tufts University School of Medicine. With warmth, clarity, and candor, Dr. Bauman offers a behind-the-scenes look at the structure and role of Maine’s flagship teaching hospital — from the residency match process and medical student education to what it means to be a Level 1 trauma center.
You’ll learn about:
- How Maine Med trains and attracts top medical talent
- What happens behind the scenes when you walk into the ER
- How seasonal surges and hospital capacity affect emergency care
- Why Monday is the busiest day in emergency medicine
- And how the hospital fits into the broader health landscape in Maine
Whether you’re curious about emergency care in Maine, thinking about a career in medicine, or simply wondering what to expect when walking into the ER, this episode offers insight with compassion and clarity.
🎧 Be sure to catch Part Two, where Dr. Bauman shares what it’s like working with Life Flight of Maine, describes a day in the life of an ER physician, and reflects on how his own recent health scare changed his view of care, leadership, and what matters most.
