LEWISTON — The American Board of Internal Medicine has certified Central Maine Medical Center hospitalist Bruce E. Condit, M.D., as a specialist in hospice and palliative medicine.

A member of the CMMC medical staff since 2003, Condit was the hospital’s first full-time hospitalist. He provides care for CMMC inpatients at the request of their primary care physician. He was a member of the first class of The Society of Hospital Medicine’s Fellows in Hospital Medicine in 2009. He is presently medical director of CMMC’s palliative care team.

Condit, a Farmington native, is a cum laude graduate of Harvard College in Cambridge, Mass. He completed premedical coursework at Harvard University Extension School, also in Cambridge, Mass., and earned his medical degree from the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, Mass.

He completed residency training in internal medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and was named a clinical fellow in medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston. His postdoctoral training includes two years experience with hospital-affiliated private internal medicine practices in the Boston area. He also served an elective in general medicine at South East Alaska Regional Health Consortium in Sitka, Alaska.

As a medical student he was presented the Gary G. Winzelberg M.D., ’74 Memorial Award for exemplifying “warmth, compassion and dedication.”
