Why I’m a resident
When I was at Regions on my away rotation as a medical student, I was absolutely blown away by the competency and clinical acumen of both residents and staff. They seamlessly handled both acuity and volume with ease, proving to me that I would receive excellent training during my years here. Put that alongside the character of the people who work here, from pharmacists to ED techs and nurses, I knew this was the place for me. Even as a student, I was always well received in the department, encouraged to ask questions, and supported each and every day. Now a few months into residency, I can say that it is even better as a resident and I am so glad to have matched at Regions!
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.
