Reflections on the Duke program

What were you looking for in a fellowship program?
I wanted a program that would provide exposure to as much patient diversity as possible to best prepare me in my future career, with an emphasis on autonomy  to better build clinical reasoning and a strong network for research opportunities.

What are the strengths of the Duke program?
There’s an excellent balance of autonomy with oversight from incredibly supportive faculty. 

About Duke University and Durham

What’s your favorite part about living in Durham and the Triangle?
There is amazing food, and there are so many excellent hiking trails nearby.

Personal interests

What do you like to do outside of work?
I try to do as many things as possible - I love cooking and baking (as a vehicle to eaHng as much hot sauce as I can), trying all the new restaurants that open up in the triangle, running, and reading (I’m a part of quite a few book clubs). I also love travel, and try to maximize all my weekends off and vacaHon Hme visiHng family back home or going on an internaHonal adventure
