Why Utah?
What’s not to love about Utah? I was attracted to the accessibility to the outdoors, but I fell in love with the people and program. The program leadership is dedicated to our education and well-being, and the pediatric and medicine programs have welcomed us with open arms. The attendings and fellows are very approachable and dedicated to teaching. The fellow residents are inspiring people and incredibly supportive. The hospitals have huge catchment areas, so you are guaranteed to see bread-and-butter as well as more complex patients presenting with rare diagnoses. The Salt Lake community is vibrant with arts (Sundance film fest!), food, and, somewhat surprisingly, great beer. Salt Lake has all the great things of a city along with incredible accessibility to nature. Not to mention, my sister lives here, and it’s great to be closer to her.
