After spending almost ten years in New York City, I was itching for a big life change. I had vacationed in Utah before and wanted to again, so I decided – why not just move there! Despite the obvious rigor of the program, the residents I met were happy, relaxed, and obviously close with one another and the program leadership. Because Primary Children’s is both a community hospital for SLC and the only complex care pediatric facility for over 300 miles, I knew I’d see all the rarest cases and receive a well-rounded training. While visiting Salt Lake, in one day I was able to hike to secluded hot springs and tour awesome breweries, a lifestyle of which I had only dreamed. On days off you’ll find me rock climbing or snowboarding in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
