We’re growing, which means so will your opportunities.

CCVS is currently expanding our Bourne facility, with completion expected in early 2027. The expansion will add more physical space, advanced medical technology, and three new specialty departments: Neurology, Ophthalmology, and Dentistry. It will also bring additional board-certified specialists in existing specialties and advanced diagnostics (MRI, fluoroscopy) to enhance cross-department collaboration and elevate our educational programs for interns and residents alike.

This growth means that interns joining now will help shape the next chapter of CCVS and will train in a hospital that is not only advancing patient care but also expanding possibilities for future residents and specialists.

Life on Cape Cod

Outside the hospital, enjoy all that coastal New England has to offer. Beaches, sailing, kayaking, hiking, and fresh seafood. CCVS is located just one hour from Boston and Providence, and a short drive from the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
