I absolutely love being a resident at IU School of Medicine Riley Hospital for Children. The experiences and knowledge I gain every single day help me become the type of pediatrician I strive to be. I was looking for a program that has patient care, education and genuine kindness as core values, and this describes the program perfectly. I also wanted to be exposed to amazing primary and subspecialty care pediatricians to be able to provide care to all types of patients. The staff and program leadership want to assist in any way they can to help me achieve my goals. I am not originally from Indianapolis, but I absolutely love this city. I love spending my free time discovering new restaurants (that are all vegetarian friendly), walking to my favorite yoga studio, taking my dog on walks on the canal and getting together with my co-residents (who are also some of my best friends) after work! My husband is also a medical student in Indianapolis. This city has so much to offer, and choosing to stay here to train at IU School of Medicine was never a question in my mind!

I have been part of the IU School of Medicine and Riley Hospital family for over a year now, and I can say with certainty that applying here was one of the best decisions of my life. Our program truly cares about its residents, and they are continually assessing our needs and interests to maximize our training. Riley Hospital is such an extraordinary place to learn about a wide variety of patients, given that we have all pediatrics subspecialties on campus. I have had the opportunity to create strong bonds with patients and their families, particularly in my clinic, where I see a very diverse population. IU School of Medicine is a very inclusive place where everyone is welcomed. This is reflected in our program and how welcoming they are to foreign medical graduates like myself. I am honored to train in such an impressive academic medical center.
