Why Emergency Medicine?

I rotated through the ER in the spring of my 4th year of medical school. I had already applied and interviewed for ob-gyn positions. I fell in love with the medicine and people and I knew this was what I actually wanted to do for the rest of my life. I decided to do a surgery prelim year and reapply into Emergency Medicine. I couldn’t be happier with my decision!

 

Why did you choose UT Health?

I left my interview for UT SA with the warm and fuzzies. The staff and residents were so enthusiastic about their program and how my own interests aligned with them. No other program I interviewed at promoted patient advocacy like they did. I’m especially interested in women’s health in the ER and I was offered so much support to pursue that!
