Why did you choose Brown? I wanted to train at a residency that would prepare me for anything and have exceptional resident camaraderie. I was convinced after rotating at Brown during my fourth year of medical school. I was impressed by the trauma volume the program saw but also impressed by how the residents were exceptionally competent clinicians and teachers who truly cared for each other.
What do you like about Providence/Rhode Island? I like that Providence is a manageable city with affordable housing, convenient commutes, and great food.
What are your goals for the future? Be a well-rounded surgeon, teach medical students/residents, take care of my friends and family, go to the beach regularly.
