Molecular mechanism in ARDS
Why Colorado?
I originally applied to Colorado for the great opportunities
offered in both clinical training and research. But if I am being honest, I
chose Colorado because on interview day, although via zoom, the program had
great family vibes. Everyone seemed to enjoy nerding out about their work but
there was an emphasis on maintaining a work life balance. In addition, Denver
has all the amenities of a big city but it’s also a stone’s throw away from
isolated wilderness.

Why Colorado?
My husband and I were looking for a more outdoorsy place where we could partake in our favorite hobbies of hiking and camping without a plane flight. Also I loved the feel of Colorado’s pulmonary division – approachable people doing amazing research and clinical work. Chest X-ray conference sealed the deal on interview day.
