Why I’m a resident

Every shift in the emergency department is different than the last, which was my initial draws to the specialty – the variety keeps me excited and engaged. Perhaps most impactful, though, has been the incredible privilege of caring for patients in their most vulnerable states. Just one month into my residency and I’ve already felt an overwhelming sense of support from everyone around me in the department – nurses, techs, and pharmacists alike. The commitment of our program leadership, staff, and teachers, both on and off shift, is truly exceptional. It’s clear that they genuinely care about my growth as a physician and as a person. And I can’t forget to mention my amazing co-residents! Their encouragement, community, and support make the experience even better.  I’m incredibly grateful to be a part of the Region’s residency program and look forward to continuing this journey with such a fantastic team by my side!

These reasons make Minnesota one of the best states to learn and practice medicine.
