Why did you choose UPMC Shadyside Family Medicine Residency Program? Why
Pittsburgh?
I chose UPMC Shadyside because I’m originally from Pittsburgh and wanted to stay close to home. During my fourth-year rotation, I really enjoyed the supportive environment and connected well with the residents and faculty. It felt like the right place to grow as a physician and give back to my community.
What are your goals while here in the residency program? How will this prepare you to be an excellent physician?
During residency, my goal is to become a well-rounded, confident family physician who can care for patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I also want to grow as an advocate for my patients and their communities. The training at UPMC Shadyside will give me the clinical skills and experience I need to provide comprehensive, compassionate care.
Do you have any specials interests outside of the residency?
Outside of the residency, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love to play tennis, golf and ski.
