Las Vegas, Nevada
Why did you choose UA Family Medicine?
I was drawn to UA Family Medicine from the start because of its strong commitment to the community and underserved populations. During my interview, I felt a genuine sense of community. The residents were kind and genuinely supportive of each other, and the faculty felt approachable and truly invested in the growth of their residents. Ultimately, I chose UA Family medicine because it felt like just the right fit. Through this program, I know it will allow me to grow into the well-rounded, compassionate, and community-centered physician I strive to be. (Also, coming from Las Vegas, the dry heat was also a big plus for me!)
