Medical Resident/Fellow

Professional Summary

Personal Statement
I have always had an intrinsic passion for learning medicine of all specialties. I found interest in a variety of content from each clerkship I participated in. Radiology allows an incorporation of nearly every specialty and requires knowledge that spans deeper than what an image portrays. This is what I genuinely enjoy—learning medicine from the inside out. Practicing radiology would give me the means to continue to learn in every facet of medicine, while visually recognizing the manifestations of disease.

Why I Chose Cincinnati
I matched at Cincinnati for my preliminary IM year and for Diagnostic Radiology residency. During my elective rotation in radiology at UCMC I was impressed by the camaraderie between the residents and the attending physicians. UCMC provides an exemplary environment for learning and understanding medicine. My impression was bolstered when I interviewed with the Internal Medicine program. I felt that UCMC not only prioritizes patient care but also emphasizes resident wellness and learning. I am confident that my preliminary year Cincinnati will allow me to excel during my radiology residency.
