COM dean Marc Hahn featured in Portland Press Herald

In its article, "Leader plans to improve profile of medical school," the Portland Press Herald outlined the key points shared in last night's "Dean's Address and Vision" at UNE's Biddeford Campus, presented by College of Osteopathic Medicine dean Marc. B. Hahn, DO.

“We are now the number one provider of primary care physicians in Maine. To me, that is amazing,” said Hahn.  “If the University of New England did not exist, access to primary care health care in this state would be in jeopardy,” Hahn said. “We have been quietly churning out the primary care physicians for the past 30 years.”

The article described the vision that dean Hahn shared in his address, including establishing another college of osteopathic medicine, creating a $1 million scholarship fund and attracting a much larger student body – all within the next five years.
