Why Utah?
From the get-go, it was clear to me that the psychiatry department here at University of Utah truly cared about residents' success and well being. There is a sense of collegiality and amicability among everyone that is both immediately welcoming and sincere. The department is also quickly growing, and as someone interested in a career in academic psychiatry, I know there is plenty of opportunity waiting for me here even after residency training. Also, it certainly doesn't hurt that the surrounding landscapes are a pleasure to wake up to everyday.
