Medical School: UConn School of Medicine Why VTCEM: I chose VTC because not only is it a fantastic program that gives me both community and academic exposure, the people here are also incredibly supportive. When I came to visit, so many of the residents made a huge effort to come out and get to know me. It was clear that everyone here had a great community, and I have felt that I was a part of that since the day I matched here. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming and I have had the opportunity to learn both on and off shift from so many brilliant and talented faculty and co-residents. Plus the views in Southwest Virginia are more beautiful than anything I’ve ever seen!
