Andrew Parent ’21

Spending his summer as a member of the Patient Experience Team at Maine Med, Andrew Parent (‘21) gathered information from patients about their stays and helped prepare for a hospital-wide Patient Experience Conference. Andrew believes he would not have been able to accomplish this if it wasn’t for UMF’s close-knit community and his psychology classwork that helped him understand “what patients and families were going through in order to help give them the best patient experience possible. As a psychology major working with patients, this experience has allowed me to develop a deeper compassion towards patients and their family members during difficult times.”
