Why did you choose the UPMC residency program?
In my quest for the right residency program, I sought comprehensive training with a particular emphasis on spinal cord injury management and potential fellowship pathways. UPMC quickly emerged as a standout choice, renowned not only for its excellence in general PM&R training but also for its exceptional spinal cord injury program. The program's innovative approaches and dedication to cutting-edge research promised an environment where I could flourish and contribute meaningfully. Moreover, it was the people—the warmth, camaraderie, and genuine support among residents and faculty—that truly set UPMC apart. This sense of community, coupled with the allure of Pittsburgh, made UPMC not just a top choice but the perfect fit for me to pursue my passion in PM&R and embark on a fulfilling journey of growth and learning.
