When fourth-year Harvard Emergency Medicine Resident Physician Caitlin Craft-Hacherl began looking for elective clinical rotations, she wanted more than just a hands-on experience, she wanted connection, challenge, and a chance to practice medicine in a setting where community is at the heart of care. She found all that and more here, at MDI Hospital.

This fall marked Caitlin’s second Emergency Medicine rotation at MDI Hospital, a return she requested after an especially rewarding first experience last year.

Caitlin said that working in a rural emergency department offered perspectives that resident physicians in larger urban hospitals might not encounter. “It broadens your view of medicine and offers a different perspective from what you may be used to. Even if you don’t plan to practice in a rural setting, it’s an invaluable experience.”

After residency completion this year, Caitlin is pursuing a fellowship in Wilderness Medicine, a field that perfectly blends her love for the outdoors with her dedication to emergency care. “Working at MDI Hospital has been an example of the merger between helping people in challenging environments and working closely in nature that I hope to experience during fellowship,” she said.
