Why UW?

"It wasn't just the stories I had heard from peers or read about online that highlighted the prestige of UW; it was evident during my interview day. The morning report was exceptional, featuring an outstanding case, but the warmth and hospitality of every faculty member and fellow truly impressed me. I was amazed to learn about the various tracks available, the opportunity to work in three different hospitals addressing a wide range of complex pathologies, the diverse specialty clinics, and the excellent MSK ultrasound and research possibilities. Additionally, the prospect of living in one of the most beautiful places on earth was the icing on the cake."

Why Rheumatology? 

"I chose rheumatology because I want to significantly impact patients' quality of life through long-term relationships and consistent care. The specialty's multidisciplinary nature and complex diagnostics keep me intellectually engaged. With abundant research opportunities and an outstanding work-life balance, it's the perfect fit for me both professionally and personally."
