Osteopathic Neuromuscular Medicine ONMM3 
Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center has offered an Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine 3 (ONMM3) Residency for over 20 years. This is an additional year of training that prepares the resident for board certification in osteopathic and neuromuscular medicine. Graduates of this fellowship go on to practice in their primary board certification, as well as specialty and teaching faculty careers. The ONMM3 residents are members of Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center medical staff and assist in teaching medical students and family medicine residents in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

Arts and Humanities
Faculty at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center for Family Medicine and Residency began a Maine Art and Humanities in Medicine Fellowship in concert with the University of Maine Graduate School and Institute of Medicine’s Maine Art and Humanities in Medicine (MeAHM) certificate and master’s degrees in the Intermedia program. We have had our first physician artist fellow who focused on a writing project and the certificate program.  The program brings together artists, physicians, and medical providers from across the country and allows the exploration of the intersection of art and medicine. We place artists in medical settings to do their projects within Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC) facilities and foster physician artists in their work. We believe that our art and humanities program informs the practice of medicine, and encourages the practice of the real art of medicine. Within the residency, we teach about to the intersection of the art and humanities with medicine as we explore the history of art and medicine,  the practice of art and medicine,  and space for experiences where art and medicine meet. This includes elements of reflective practice as well as projects and research that utilize art methodology and collaboration of artists and physicians working in medical settings.
