“As an Allergy and Immunology fellow at UNC, my time in the Triangle has been nothing short of transformative. The supportive mentorship I’ve received, the camaraderie with my co-fellows and attendings, and the collaborative spirit of this community have helped shape me as a physician. Beyond the clinic walls, I’ve fallen in love with the Triangle’s charm—its friendly people, thriving pickleball scene, and the incredible diversity reflected in both its population and cuisine. Living here has offered me a perfect balance of professional growth and personal fulfillment. When I think about my future post-fellowship, the decision to start my career by joining a private practice in Raleigh was easy. The Triangle isn’t just where I’ve trained; it’s where I’ve found a home” – Mayuran Ravindran, MD, 2025 Graduate
