Why Utah?
I instantly felt at home with each resident and attending at the University of Utah - like everyone was an old friend I had yet to meet. I was also impressed by how the program emphasized work-life balance and resident education (full protected didactic days on Wednesday!) while maintaining a clear commitment to patient care. When I finally visited the city and ate 10/10 sushi beneath towering snow-capped mountains, I knew there was no other place for me.
