What are you looking forward to dong in the Denver area?

I love exploring the city and finding cool new places to hangout. Red Rocks is, of course, a legendary venue to catch a show. There are so many great day/weekend trips to take in our beautiful state. I also grew up in Fort Collins so it is just a short drive north to visit my family!

What is the program's biggest strength?

A great advantage of this program is that it is the only radiology residency in Colorado. We practice in multiple settings that include a large academic hospital, a community hospital in the heart of downtown, a children's hospital, and a VA. This gives us the opportunity to learn from a huge variety of cases and serve a diverse patient population.
