MARCo Community

a free online space created for medical trainees by trainees

MARCo is a free online community hosted on Circle. It is similar to a Facebook group in setup, but it is not connected to social media, allowing privacy and features to accommodate medical trainees from student to resident to fellow and anybody in between. The goal is to foster connection through shared experiences irrespective of distance. If you are a medical trainee, please join and help us grow!
