Why did you choose UA EM?

During my interview I just got the warm and fuzzy feelings which I didn’t think I would get via virtual interviews! My feelings were confirmed during my second look. All the residents and staff just really seemed to enjoy being around each other and everyone was super easy to spark a quality conversation with. It was a place I felt I would be welcomed as one of their own and would love to spend my next three years! Paired with the awesome reputation of UA EM and the cool city of Tucson it was a no brainer!

Favorite activity in Tucson, or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program?

Desert beauty! The dry heat!

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Spend as much time outside as I can! Ski more days than I did last year!
