Why UIC for Fellowship:
As I learned through medical school and residency training, UIC has a very diverse patient population and a wide array of research opportunities, which makes UIC an ideal institution for learning and shaping a career in medicine. As a Chicago native with the goal of becoming a physician scientist, UIC was the ideal university for me to pursue my research and clinical interests in endocrinology.
