Rural medicine & Pediatric advocacy
Why did you choose UA EM?

Eating! The food is fantastic and fuss-free. Wandering around Mount Lemmon is a close second.

Walk my dog more days than not, see my kid send a full route outdoors, and cook a meal that makes my partner's jaw drop.

Why did you choose UA EM?
The relationships between the residents and with the faculty at UA drew me into this program the most. There is truly a family feeling in the culture of UA, where faculty are willing and eager to teach and residents are genuinely supportive of each other. After completing an away rotation here, I just couldn't wait to come back.

To improve my trivia skills, land a snowboarding jump, bike from the base to the top of Mount Lemmon, and explore as many national parks in and around Arizona as possible.
