“My time at UConn clearly laid the framework for successful transitions from medical school to residency, and from residency to my career, and I couldn't be happier with my choice.”

My time at UConn certainly was valuable to me. Though I had quality exposure to many specialties, I ultimately decided to pursue a residency in Internal Medicine. My search for residency programs brought me up and down the East coast, and then right back home again.

I started my residency in the Traditional Internal Medicine Program at Yale New Haven Hospital in 2008, and nearly three years later, am now just a few months from completing my training. A number of my UConn classmates matched at Yale with me, and we've remained close friends. After graduation, I will be joining a multi-specialty group serving the Primary Care needs of southwestern Connecticut.
