The last two weeks of June are always super busy for residents and residency programs but nothing really tops the experience of incoming interns. Over the last month or so they have graduated from medical school, moved to entirely new cities and started orientations. Because we just can't wait for our newest interns here is a sneak peak at some of what they are most excited about in starting residency.
In regards to what I am most excited about as we start residency: 1) To learn from our awesome faculty. 2) To make new friends. 3) To be able to tell people I am a doctor without feeling like I am lying (Hopefully this happens by third year?). 4) To make Cincinnati into our new home and experience all the amazing things the city has to offer!

As a Cincinnati native, I've watched the city grow and change significantly in my lifetime. I was thrilled to match at Christ's program where I know I'll be surrounded by people dedicated to the care of the most vulnerable in our city. In starting residency, I'm most excited to get to know my colleagues and to have the privilege of serving the city and people who have given me so much over the past 26 years.

I think what I’m most looking forward to in residency is the opportunity to get to know my patients in continuity clinic and provide more long term continuity care that addresses wellness of the whole person.

I am beyond excited for the opportunity to work closely with other residents who have similar passions/interests and be a part of a program invested in caring for vulnerable and underserved communities. I am eager to begin full spectrum family medicine training and begin building relationships with patients. Additionally, I am excited for the amazing opportunity to have intentional academic training.
