    Why Utah?

    The University of Utah Psychiatry rural track is the best of both worlds to me—I get to train at an academic medical center in Salt Lake City for two years, then in Pocatello, Idaho a couple hours north for two years, where I’ll learn how to navigate psychiatry without the resources of an urban area. (Not to mention the mountain biking is fantastic in both areas.) I know I want home to be a mountain community in the West, and that these communities face unique mental health challenges in addition to being underserved. This residency program will prepare me to jump right in, and to find my place in the larger conversations about how we deliver and integrate psychiatric care in my own community and in this country.
