Learner Summary
What do you like about your program?
I loved the people! It was so clear to me that residents, faculty, and staff were all such kind, genuine people who truly cared about each other, which is exactly what I was looking for in a residency program. On top of that, you have the opportunity to rotate through a variety of hospital and clinic settings with complex cases that continually expand the depth and breadth of your medical knowledge.
What are your hobbies?
I enjoy painting, jigsaw puzzles, reading, watching football, and frequenting local coffee shops
