Why I Chose UCI/CHOC: The children's hospital here is absolutely remarkable in all ways - from the faculty, to the facilities, to the fellowship matches. It is evident right from interview day how warm and knowledgable the faculty are. As I'm going through my rotations, I can see how passionately they love to teach too, and that type of energy is exactly what I was hoping for in a residency program. I also loved the diverse population here & the diverse clinical sites we get to train at. The fellowship matches are also excellent, which was definitely a high priority for me, as that is something I am highly considering. Lastly, it's back in my home state, close to my family & friends, and also right next to Disney :)
