Why did you choose Michigan's residency program? My current interest areas are in pediatrics and academia, so I was initially interested in Michigan's residency program because of the strong affiliation with the UM College of Pharmacy and the variety of rotations offered at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. This program also stood out to me with its strong preceptors, incredible mentorship program, and emphasis on resident well-being. Ann Arbor is also a great place to live!
