Note:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Raleigh and Durham (two neighboring cities, and part of the nationally renowned “Research Triangle” that includes Chapel Hill) were recently tied as the “Second best place to live in the U.S.,”<\/strong> by the July, 2021 ranking in U.S. News & World Report<\/em>. Learn more about the rankings and why our region is such a great place to live and work.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cAs an Allergy and Immunology fellow at UNC, my time in the Triangle has been nothing short of transformative. The supportive mentorship I\u2019ve received, the camaraderie with my co-fellows and attendings, and the collaborative spirit of this community have helped shape me as\u00a0a physician. Beyond the clinic walls, I\u2019ve fallen in love with the Triangle\u2019s charm\u2014its 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\u2019t just where I\u2019ve trained; it\u2019s where I\u2019ve found a home” – Mayuran Ravindran, MD, 2025 Graduate<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
