The interactions with faculty and residents during my rotations were incredibly positive, and I knew this was the right place for my residency training. The diverse patient population and comprehensive curriculum promise to provide me with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in my career. I am excited to be part of a program that is committed to research and innovation, and I look forward to growing both as a clinician and a scholar in this exceptional community.&#8221;<br \/>\n-Dr. Jonny Desposorio, Class of 2028<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4565&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]We want our residents to develop into obstetrician\/gynecologists that will continue to promote and enhance women\u2019s healthcare in their future.
