Why WVU Medicine:
My parents are from a suburb of Wheeling, WV, and my dad completed his MBA at WVU. The hospital and university are well-regarded in my family. I enjoyed my first year of residency at WVU Medicine. I matured as a person and pharmacist and I felt well-supported during my PGY1. I chose to continue at WVU Medicine due to the excellent PGY2 in infectious diseases and the connections that I have made here.
