UNMがレジデンシーの私の選択である理由： There are many reasons why I chose UNM, but the main reason was I felt a sense of peace and felt at home during my short stay in Albuquerque. I knew I wanted to stay in the Southwest, and I loved being so close to the mountains. The view from the morning report conference room blew me away on interview day. All the residents and faculty that I met were so welcoming and seemed to genuinely care about each other. I also knew that since UNM is the only children’s hospital in New Mexico, I would receive a great education and see a wide variety of pathology. My co-residents have become like family, and I am grateful that I am training here at UNM!
UNMの好きなこと： We are all willing to help each other out, especially when emergencies or other things come up in our personal lives.
NMの好きなこと： There are many festivals year-round! Examples: Lavender festival, wine festival, Balloon Fiesta, chocolate and coffee fest, holiday twinkle light parade, etc. I enjoy taking in the beautiful scenery by going on motorcycle drives. I like camping, going on hikes, and exploring the various hot springs in the state.
