“I was eager to stay at UIC for residency because of the excellent mentorship I received as a medical student. I was always impressed by the autonomy of fifth year residents I got to work with, and it’s an honor to follow in their footsteps, treating a diverse patient population with an abundance of role models and supportive co-residents.”
