Why did you choose UA EM?

I did my away rotation at UA and really enjoyed the month that I spent rotating there. I was drawn to the close family feel, strong clinical training, and varied clinical sites.

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

Easy access to the outdoors, great food, and not having to scrape ice off my windshield after an overnight.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

I'm looking forward to getting back into climbing, exploring all of the great places to eat, and getting to know my co-residents.
