Why I’m a resident

Regions is an amazing family to be a part of! Starting with my M4 rotation and now as a resident, I feel valued and prioritized as a trainee, co-worker, and person. As a program, Regions has the unique combination of academic, community, and humanistic emergency medicine that prepares graduates for practice in any environment. This breadth of training is important to me, as I want to be well trained for rural/private practice, but I still want the experience/exposure of academic emergency medicine. As a husband and parent, I also wanted to train somewhere that facilitated my growth as a person outside of work. Regions does this by truly valuing our personal/career goals, optimizing schedules to these goals, and giving plenty of opportunities to connect with co-residents to foster a family-like environment. Every day I wake up grateful and excited to be a member of the Regions family!

Living in the Twin Cities

The Twin Cities is a terrific place to live. Not only is it absolutely beautiful in the North Star State, you can actually afford to live, work, and play here. You’ll find that Minnesota is one of the best states for health care in the nation. And yes, “Minnesota Nice” is a real thing. These reasons make Minnesota one of the best states to learn and practice medicine.
