What are your favorite things to do in the Denver Area?
There are a ton of great things to do in Denver and nearby. In Denver, I enjoy jogging around Sloan's lake and taking my dogs to the Westminster or Cheery Creek dog parks. I also love exploring new restaurants and breweries, in neighborhoods like are the Highlands and RiNo. There is no shortage of great things to do in the nearby mountains, I prefer hiking, camping and snowboarding.
What is the biggest strength of our program?
I believe that the biggest strength of the program is the people. From the residents and attendings to our program coordinator and program directors, we have a great support system. People are always willing to help cover anytime anyone has a scheduling conflict or family emergency, which makes life outside of work much easier. And of course, I enjoy spending time with my coresidents!
