“I am so excited to be at UIC! I was especially drawn to the opportunity to care for a diverse group of patients from all economic backgrounds. On interview day, the residents and attendings were incredibly warm and genuine, and I could see myself thriving here. As someone who feels energized by the pace and vibrancy of city life, I knew Chicago would be a great fit for me. I am confident that UIC will train me to become an excellent surgeon and compassionate physician”
