Why I chose family medicine: I chose family medicine due to the wide spectrum in age, pathologies and relationships. Family medicine stems out with the unique opportunity to establish long-term relationship with patients, and hence, see the progression of diseases. With family medicine, I observed that patients and their families, rather than their pathologies are brought to the fore front. I truly appreciate seeing physicians and patients connect and work together solely to establish holistic wellness.

Why I chose the IU School of Medicine Arnett Family Medicine Residency Program: During my interview, I found the faculty to be very dedicated to the education, wellbeing, and success of their residents. Moreover, on talking to the residents likewise, they were very approachable and relatable and unquestionably, love the program. Being an unopposed program with such a healthy and encouraging environment, in addition to the curriculum, I knew I wanted to be a part of IU Arnett.
