Why did you choose South Campus FM residency?
I knew I wanted to be an outpatient physician and chose a strong academic program to create a foundation of knowledge I could use in any setting. However, I also wanted to get more experience in rural environments, have access to reproductive health electives and work in a city with underserved populations. SCFMR has it all.
What do you love most about Tucson?
Opportunities to go hiking, visit snow an hour away in winter and eat at a dizzying array of restaurants. The local museums and quirky cafes are a highlight, and I love the lack of actual traffic! Finally, since I went to medical school in a rural location I also greatly appreciate being back in a city with bookstores, gaming shops and Target.
