Why Obstetrics and Gynecology?

No other experience during my clerkships matched my excitement for helping bring life into the world on my labor and delivery rotation. The patients’ vulnerability, the emotional intensity of the work, the combination of medicine and surgery and the opportunities for advocacy solidified that choice for me.

Why UNC?

The training is excellent, but most importantly, this program’s family feel was palpable during my interview. Residency training can be tough, and I wanted to be part of a community that understood and supported each other through the long hours, successes, failures or any challenges that may arise.
