Why Emergency Medicine?

I enjoy the fast pace and variety of medicine performed in the emergency department. Few disciplines in medicine allow the provider to practice in such a broad environment. As an Air Force physician, emergency training also means delivering care at the frontlines of military medicine. Overall, EM was the perfect fit for my talents and interests.

 

Why did you choose UT Health?

UT Health San Antonio provides an incredible training environment and a talented cast of residents and faculty. The culture in the department is friendly and folks really seem to enjoy teaching at an academic institution. The city has lots to do and is a great place to raise a family. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here in medical school and look forward to completing the rest of training at UTHSCSA!
