The participants discussed the challenges of recruiting physicians for underserved areas of Maine. DeFeo explained that over 30 years, some 500 COM graduates are practicing in Maine and that roughly 60 percent of COM graduates go on to specialize in primary care areas such as family medicine, pediatrics and internal medicine. He also noted that the class that will enroll in COM in fall 2014 will have 36 students from Maine. .
