Why did you choose UPMC Shadyside Family Medicine Residency Program? Why Pittsburgh?
While looking for a residency, I know I wanted a program filled with opportunity and resources for me to explore my passions. I also knew that I wanted a program that would prioritize the well-being of its residents. Shadyside embodied both ideas. UPMC Shadyside is an ideal mix of a large well-established program that also cares about getting involved in the community and providing exceptional care to its patients. After interviewing here and meeting the other residents at a second look, this program easily became my top choice. I am extremely excited to be in Pittsburgh for my residency. I went to college outside of Pittsburgh and have many close friends who live in Pittsburgh making it a supportive environment for me. Pittsburgh is also an extraordinary city with its culture, food, and community.
What are your goals while here in the residency program? How will this prepare you to be an excellent physician?
While in this program, my goal is to learn and grow into the best physician I can possibly be. I want to graduate from this residency being comfortable and confident in providing quality care to my patients.
Do you have any special interests outside of the residency?
Outside of residency I enjoy going on adventures, watching/playing sports, cooking, listening to music, putting together Lego flowers, and spending time with my cat.
