Travis was born in Beaverton, Oregon, home of Nike headquarters and many sports enthusiasts. It was in Beaverton that Travis began his lifelong passion for sports, particularly basketball, which he started playing at the age of 8. It was also where he first dreamt of playing for the Portland Trail Blazers. Travis attended Linfield University, where he played basketball and ran the 400m in track.
Following his undergraduate education, Travis worked as a medical assistant for an orthopedic trauma surgeon. This experience sparked his desire to pursue medicine. He went on to attend medical school at Pacific Northwest University in central Washington and spent his clinical years in Fairbanks, Alaska. Travis completed family medicine residency training in western Montana, where he had the opportunity to trail run in the northern Rocky Mountains with his dog Berry. He is excited about the opportunity to further his training with the faculty at Maine-Dartmouth and to explore the beautiful state of Maine.
James Poulin, MD

Family Medicine Residency: Central Maine Medical Center Family Medicine Residency
Pronouns: he/him
Pronunciation of Dr. James Poulin
I was born and raised in Lewiston, attended Holy Cross and Saint Dom’s schools and then went off to the University of Notre Dame for undergrad. Something kept calling me back to Maine and I ended up transferring to the University of Maine and graduated with a degree in biology. As most Mainers know, there is something special about Maine, and being anywhere else never felt right to me. I had the pleasure of working as an EMT in Lewiston in the year between undergrad and going off to medical school. I was lucky enough to end up at Tufts University School of Medicine as part of their Maine Track program, which gave me the unique opportunity to complete all of my clinical rotations in Maine.
As a Mainer through and through, I always knew I would be in Maine to practice and was hopeful to be able to train here as well. I had the privilege of completing my family medicine residency at Central Maine Medical Center as a rural resident with a clinic in Rumford. I have known since high school that I want to practice sports medicine and am so excited to be completing my fellowship through Maine-Dartmouth.
Outside of the office, I enjoy playing board games, 3D modeling/printing, and heading “upta” camp to go fishing.
