Reflections on Brown Med-Peds:

What is your favorite thing about living in Rhode Island? I really enjoy being close to the ocean, and all of the outdoor spaces. Not to mention the number of delicious, diverse restaurants in close proximity here in Providence!

What were you looking for in a residency program? I was looking for a program that would provide me with rigorous inpatient and outpatient training across all ages, and a program that provides exposure to numerous medical specialties, supporting my career goals. Brown has provided the space for me to stay true to myself, satisfying my curiosity. Our program has a nurturing faculty and co-residents that allow me to blossom throughout residency.
