Why did you choose UA EM?

UA EM was the best fit overall. The emphasis on community and rural medicine was a definite draw. The residents and faculty feel closely knit. I also love my hometown!

The food, endless hiking, and overall sense of community.

Keeping my car running...exploring more hiking trails and reconnecting with friends and family. Brushing the dust off of my bass guitar.
