Why I Chose UNC:
What’s not to love! The program director Nikki Binz and the rest of the residency leadership are committed to training excellent and happy EM physicians. A supportive training environment and an emphasis on resident wellness are true priorities here. The faculty and residents were very welcoming and made the effort to truly get to know my aspirations and understand how they could help me achieve my goals within EM. The residency program had a “family feel” that for me is important for promoting teamwork and a positive learning atmosphere. UNC’s EM program is a perfect mix of strong academics and community emergency medicine with ample pediatric exposure and a diverse patient population. You have the opportunity to train alongside brilliant emergency medicine physicians who are both leaders and advocates in the field. UNC has unparalleled global health options, and the possibilities for leadership, fellowship training, teaching, and research are endless. Also, North Carolina is a beautiful part of the country and close to my family. I am so excited to be a part of the UNC family!
