LEWISTON – Dr. Claudia K. Geyer, an internal medicine specialist, has been appointed to the Central Maine Medical Center medical staff. She is working as a CMMC hospitalist, providing care for inpatients at the request of their primary care physician.

Previously, Geyer worked with the Maine Hospitalist Service at Maine Medical Center in Portland, where she provided both primary and consultative care for adult inpatients.

She has also been actively involved in medical education, and was a member of the MMC Internal Medicine Residency faculty and a clinical instructor at the University of Vermont School of Medicine in Burlington, Vt. She continues to teach at the MMC Family Practice Residency.

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Geyer earned her medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pittsburgh. She completed residency training with the Maine-Dartmouth Family Practice Residency Program in Augusta, where she was recognized with the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine Senior Resident Award. She then served a second residency with the MMC Internal Medicine Residency Program. At MMC she served as chief resident in internal medicine.

She is certified by the American Board of Family Practice and the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is a member of the Society of Hospital Medicine, American College of Physicians, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.

The CMMC Hospitalist Service was created last year to offer patients and their physicians an in-hospital care alternative that assures high-quality clinical care while promoting efficiency and cost savings. Geyer only serves those patients who, in consultation with their personal physician, request her services.
