Why did I choose MCW for fellowship?
I chose MCW for my fellowship because of the welcoming and supportive environment I experienced on my interview day – everyone I met was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic about both the program and their colleagues. Also, MCW offers exposure to a diverse range of pathology, which I know will provide me with the comprehensive training needed to become a well-rounded and confident endocrinologist.

One of the best things about living in Milwaukee?
It's accessibility! I love how close Milwaukee is to the hospital, to surrounding towns to explore, and even to Chicago (where I'm originally from) whenever I want to go visit. I also love how friendly everyone is in Milwaukee; it was a very pleasant surprise when I moved here.
