Why did you choose to do your residency at BIDMC?: I was drawn to BIDMC because of the variety of rotation experiences and the strong presence of ambulatory care experiences. I was especially excited by the development of the heart transplant program, as it offers the chance to be part of a growing and evolving area of practice. I also appreciated the diverse backgrounds and expertise of the preceptor group. Overall, BIDMC felt like the right place to challenge myself and grow as a clinician.
