Why Utah?
I was impressed and excited to apply after both meet-and-greets I attended before the interview season, and the interview experience itself was outstanding. Every interaction I had with residents and faculty was positive. Even through the virtual process, I felt as though the University of Utah and everyone involved did a great job showing their genuine and welcoming personalities. The program's history of commitment to quality care, resident wellness, and the ability to become a well-rounded surgeon were just a few of the many reasons why I am so excited to be here. Salt Lake City is also definitely a "hidden gem", so to be able to get off work and have so much beautiful nature in your backyard is certainly a nice perk.
