Are you in a special track or focus during your residency?
I am interested in sports medicine.
Why did you choose UPMC Shadyside Family Medicine Residency Program? Why Pittsburgh?
I chose the UPMC Shadyside Family Medicine Residency Program because of the strong sense of camaraderie I observed during both the interview and second look. The program stood out as one that would challenge me to grow into a well-rounded physician, fully prepared to pursue any path I choose upon graduation. As someone born and raised in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, staying close to home was an important factor in my decision. I’m excited for the opportunity to give back to the community that shaped me.
What are your goals while here in the residency program? How will this prepare you to be an excellent physician?
During residency, I hope to gain exposure to a wide range of clinical experiences while building meaningful connections with my patient panel. I am eager to continue growing as a physician and am especially excited about the opportunity to provide continuity of care throughout my three years at the Shadyside Family Health Center.
Do you have any specials interests outside of the residency?
I enjoy all things sports-related, whether it’s watching the Steelers or Pirates (either in person or on TV) or staying active by playing golf, basketball, or soccer. In my downtime, I also enjoy discovering new TV shows and spending time relaxing with friends.
