Skiing, yoga, boxing, hiking, spending time with family/friends/dogs

Why Tufts Medicine?

I chose Tufts Medicine because of how friendly and down-to-earth everyone in the hospital was from day one of my surgery clerkship as third year medical student! The attendings always put patients first, while also being committed to training the next generation of surgeons who are well-rounded, caring human beings. Everyone from support staff, to nurses and OR teams are all in it to help us succeed. The patients we get to treat truly brighten my day. Finally, the residents genuinely enjoy each other's company in and out of the hospital, and that is ultimately what drew me to Tufts Medicine. Plus, it's hard to beat living in Boston!

Why Tufts Medicine?

Besides the obvious answers that Tufts Medicine is an incredible Surgery program with tremendous operative and research opportunities serving a diverse population, it was my future colleagues who drew me here. During my interview, I felt an instant spark with everyone I spoke to. In narrowing down where I'd like to spend the next five years, I knew that matching at Tufts Medicine meant I'd be able to learn from the best and brightest while also ensuring I felt supported, guided and valued by my colleagues on a personal level.
