Why IU: I knew I wanted to stay in Indiana for residency for many reasons, but I truly think the people here are extraordinary. The program leadership fiercely advocates for the needs of the residents and serve as amazing mentors to help guide us in our particular areas of interest. My co-residents are so much fun to be around, both socially and professionally. As far as my future career goals, I have a large list of interests, but I know that as a Med-Peds resident at IU I will be well prepared to pursue any career path. If you have any questions about our program or Med-Peds, please reach out. I couldn’t be happier to be a resident here and I would love to talk to you about my experience.
