Maine Medical Center Welcomes Dr. Burg

A Message from

Dr. Jennifer Burg:

I grew up outside of Philadelphia, PA (go Eagles!) and am the youngest of six children. We spent every summer on a lake just outside of Camden, Maine, and it has been a long-term goal of mine to live here someday. My undergraduate degree is from Cornell University and my masters (immunology) and medical degrees are from the University of Pennsylvania. Between undergrad and medical school I spent two years teaching biology in Doha, Qatar.

After medical school I did my General Surgery residency at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon, followed by thoracic fellowship at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!).

My top priority is providing high quality and heartfelt thoracic surgical care to the patients of Maine. Outside of the OR I am passionate about improving early lung cancer detection through improved awareness of, and access to, lung cancer screening programs. Outside of work I enjoy martial arts, horse riding, hiking and skiing.
