Why did you choose South Campus FM residency? I chose South Campus FM residency because I was impressed with their social justice mission, focus on underserved populations, and their commitment to train full-spectrum family medicine doctors. Also, their unique rural/global health rotation opportunities and their diverse patient population with proximity to the Mexico-US border made this program stand out as a high-quality program that can ultimately help shape us into adaptable physicians regardless of where we practice.
