Why did you choose Michigan's residency program? Although I'm from a state that's much warmer than Michigan, I chose UMich because of its warmth. I felt extremely welcomed and supported upon meeting residents and advisors at UMich, and these feelings have only grown since I've moved to Michigan. I look forward to continuing my residency journey with my fellow Wolverines! Go Blue!

Advice for future residents: Residency is often compared to drinking out of a firehose, but remember that YOU are controlling that firehose. Make sure to make time for yourself and your loved ones - taking breaks will help you bounce back even stronger!
