Why did I choose MCW for fellowship?
Since medical school, I've heard the highest praise for MCW as a pinnacle for pediatric training and care. Having been introduced to this excellence secondhand, I wanted to see for myself why doctors across the Midwest rave about their time at Children's Wisconsin. MCW marked my final interview in a Pediatrics Endocrinology marathon season, and I knew from Connie's (our coordinator) bright greeting, the warm Wisconsin welcome of everyone over Zoom, and the familial vibe of the faculty that this was my top choice to learn and grow in this field.

One of the best things about living in Milwaukee?
The sheer density of excellent farmers' markets in the area is delightful! I love perusing what the community has to offer in Wisconsin, and I look forward to summer Saturdays for this reason!
