Why Colorado? I find my best wellness and work-life balance from being outside so I love that we're surrounded by mountains, crisp weather and the yellow foliage of aspens. Our intern class is also hilarious and genuinely supportive of each other. Huge perk of a large program is that you can easily have a pal to hang with 'cause you're not the only person off. Lastly, when I was interviewing, I searched for a program with a chill culture that also offered plenty of growth and learning as a clinician and I definitely found it in Colorado! | Why Colorado? I quickly fell in love with the people here during my interview and the first few months of intern year have only confirmed I made the best decision. Everyone is so kind, supportive and intentional. I’m surrounded by intelligent, hard-working, passionate people who also love to have fun outside of work! Additionally, Denver is the perfect place – the amenities of a big city with the mountains in your backyard – it's easy to sneak away for a hike or ski trip! | Why Colorado? Basic, but – the people, the place and the program! Everyone on interview day seemed supportive and like-minded and excited to learn/teach/grow (and that's proven true now that I'm here). I loved the fact that our program trains you to be a primary care provider while also seeing some crazy exciting/unique subspecialty exposure. Plus, Denver is an incredible place to live and is just a calming place to be! |
