Why KU?
I rotated at KU as a medical student and by the end of my rotation, I knew I had found a home here. The ongoing growth of the department, in addition to the outstanding faculty, who are all uniquely impressive, and the sense of congeniality between the staff and residents demonstrated that KU was an environment where I could see myself growing. Waking up to a beautiful hospital with wonderful co-residents is a dream come true, and doing it in Kansas City is the icing on the cake!
