What do you like the most about your residency program?
I love my co-residents! It’s amazing to me how much everyone looks out for one another and is always willing to help each other out. It’s definitely made the transition to intern year easier!

They would probably say smiley! I try really hard to stay positive even after more challenging days.

I see myself in an outpatient setting with a small clinic, doing both pediatrics and adult medicine.
