Why did I choose to do my fellowship with MCW? MCW will provide a unique experience in complex clinical exposure and an exceptional education curriculum. It provides a beautiful balance between solid clinical training, broad pathology, and huge volume, and research opportunities. During the interview, I felt the supportive environment that fellows have in this program. It’s a very family-friendly environment.

One of the best things about living in Milwaukee? I lived in Chicago before; I miss walking on the Lake Shore. Also, Milwaukee has a very vibrant and diverse culture with plenty of things to do and many types of food to try.
