What made you come to Lurie? Why do you love Lurie?

I had heard really great things about the Lurie Pediatric Residency Program from my medical school mentors, so I wanted to get a first-hand look at what it was all about! I did an away rotation here during my fourth year of medical school, and during those four weeks I fell in love with the program. I was blown away by the friendliness of all of the residents and faculty, the passion everyone shared for their job, the ability to incorporate so much stellar education into each day (beyond morning/noon conferences), and all of the testimonials about the emphasis of a healthy work-life balance, especially with so many program facilitated group bonding social events. I was also drawn to their focus on equity and inclusion, which is an important quality I was looking for in my residency program. On top of these great characteristics of the program, after my interview day, I went to say good-bye to one of the attendings I had been working with, and I saw her doing a handstand in front of a patient's room who had been unable to attend the floor yoga event that day - I knew right then and there, that these were the incredible attendings I wanted to have the privilege to work side by side with as I train to become the best pediatrician that I can be.

Now that I have been here for a few months, I can definitely attest to all of those qualities still ringing true, and have loved getting to know and work with my amazing intern class! Despite social gatherings being limited due to COVID, the program has done an excellent job organizing socially distanced events outside in parks and and finds safe ways to ensure we still receive all of our day to day education. The second and third year classes, and all of the faculty have also been very welcoming and excited to have us join the Lurie family, and I've loved getting to meet and work with so many of them so far!
