All things Emergency Medicine with a particular interest in ultrasound

Why did you choose UA EM?

I chose UA EM because I was interested in the opportunity of learning medicine in both a community and academic setting while enjoying the resources and benefits of both. I appreciate the energy and resources put into the program. I really believe that this a great place to learn EM and to use as a launching point to whatever professional future you envision for yourself. The lifestyle allowed by doing residency in Tucson was also a huge draw for me. 

Favorite activity in Tucson?

Golf, which is pretty much a possibility on any day of the year.

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

Maintain a good work-life place, make some meaningful life long relationships, and figure out how to adult before the 3 years are up.
