What are
your favorite things to do in the Denver area? I
enjoy hiking in the mountains and paddleboarding at the lakes and
reservoirs. Denver also has some amazing parks, and I enjoy picnicking and
watching the many dogs in town play outside.
What is the
biggest strength of our program? The biggest strengths of the
program are the large number of faculty here and the multiple clinical sites we
do rotations at. It is an unique experience to be able to learn a wide range of
techniques from multiple attendings, both in general ENT as well as in
subspecialties. It is also very unique to get to work not only at a large
academic center, but also one of the best run safety net hospitals (Denver
Health), the newest VA hospital, and a nationally regarded Children's hospital.
We get to work with patients from all over the Rocky Mountain states.
