Learner Summary

What do you like about your program?

Being at UK for medical school, I was able to see how wonderful all of the Med-Peds residents and faculty were first hand. Everyone is so kind, smart, and willing to help whenever you need anything. The two med-peds clinics at UK are diverse and top-notch and that was something very important to me in a residency program. UK’s patient population allows us to see very sick and complex patients that come from all over KY and nearby states, and I knew I would be well prepared for any career after my training here.

What are your hobbies?

Traveling, hiking with my husband and dog, trying out new restaurants, reading, going to workout classes
