Favorite thing about Miami: Jackson has amazing people, an incredible community and exists in a vibrant and beautiful city.

Favorite thing about Miami: I was drawn to emergency medicine because service and advocacy are key aspects of practicing “on the front lines” of the medical field.

I felt that Jackson lives out its mission to provide excellent, humanistic medical care. I also wanted to train at a program that embraces innovation, leadership, collaboration, and creativity. Jackson struck me as a place where no one settles for the status quo, but everyone is a part of the family.
