What do you like best about living in Minnesota? There is so much to love about living in MN but my favorite part is having all four seasons. You get to do different activities throughout the year.

Everyone I interacted with in the program was so kind, supportive, and wanted to help me become a great doctor. Second, the program has a great balance between autonomy and support. I definitely feel challenged every day but never feel like I am alone or without someone I could reach out to for help. Third, I like having multiple different sites. Each has its own unique culture, patient complexities, and structure that prepare us very well for whatever and wherever we decide to practice. There are so many other things that I love about our program but these are some of the key points!

What do you like best about living in Minnesota? I love the community, diversity, and friendly-faces — it truly feels like home. Minnesota has big-city excitement balanced with homey vibes — there’s something for everyone, young and old, singles and families, etc.

What are your future career plans (so far)? I love hematology/oncology and palliative care!

What do you like most about being a resident? As a resident we still know very little about medicine — but it’s reassuringly not our book knowledge that impacts patients/families. It’s our compassion, honesty, relationship-building, and care. It’s taking a few extra moments to answer their questions. It’s helping them brainstorm how to take control of their health. And when treatments fail, it’s giving patients dignity amid their suffering. We can impact people in big ways as we humanize medicine.

Why did you choose the University of Minnesota for your Residency? UMN has an outstanding reputation in clinical training and research, offering the opportunity to train at the largest healthcare system in Minnesota. But what truly sets it apart is the incredible people!

If you weren't a doctor, what would your career be? If I weren't a doctor, I would probably be an artificial intelligence researcher, focusing on clinical reasoning and decision making.

What do you like best about living in Minnesota? A lot of things! I have a family and there are ample family-friendly activities around the Twin Cities. There are so many things to do both when it’s hot and when its cold outside. We love biking around the city on all the trails, and when there aren’t trails, there are bike lanes. There are so many awesome places for food and drinks as well! It is much harder to figure out what we don't like about the Cities.
Why did you choose the University of Minnesota for your Residency? We have family throughout the country, so I was looking for a place that would provide good training and PTO to use to visit our family, while giving us good access to flights everywhere in the country. I also didn't know I would be as supported by my coresidents, faculty, chief residents, and staff as I was during my time here, and I'm very grateful to have matched here.

What are your favorite hobbies and/or ways to decompress outside work? Playing with my daughter and biking all over the area with my friends!
What advice do you have for someone considering applying to the IM Residency at the U of Minnesota? Highly consider it! Our PTO is awesome that you can take just one to a few days to a week off at a time. So if you have a hard block coming up you can plan for a 3-day weekend before or after it. So many other programs make you decide so far in advance and make you take a full week or two off; this is a huge advantage we have. Also, we have opportunities in whatever specialty you're interested in. I very much feel supported by all our faculty and coresidents here, and every year has gone much smoother than expected.

What do you like best about living in Minnesota? I'm originally from Minnesota and was one of its biggest acolytes in my life outside of Minnesota -- waxing philosophical to anyone that would listen about all the ways that this state punches above its weight.

Hometown: Minneapolis, MN
Medical School: University of Colorado
Pathway and/or Specialization: Internal Medicine, aiming to become Hospitalist 
What do you like best about living in Minnesota? I love the sense of community in Minnesota, and I’ve always been a big fan of all the outdoors possibilities here. It’s something I really missed being away - yes, Colorado is beautiful with the mountains and sometimes I miss that, but my partner and I have family up on the North Shore and there is something so special about Lake Superior and the BWCA that is hard to come by elsewhere. The sense of community in Minneapolis is also second to none, and I’m thrilled to be back home and a part of it again.
Why did you choose the University of Minnesota for your Residency? I felt so at ease during my interview. I’m a Golden Gopher at heart, but did explore the other options in the Twin Cities for residency. However, I remember turning to my partner after my interview and simply saying “I hope that’s where I end up” because the program, the co-residents, and the culture just felt so right. Everyone is so supportive and open-minded here. Additionally, there’s a great sense of community involvement while still be an academic program — I don’t think those have to be separate ideas necessarily, despite being a common separating factor  residency pros and cons time — so that was a positive for me. I also love that the U of M employs medical historians in the medical school and has the Wangensteen library as part of their medical school; that kind of interdisciplinary employment and focus is not common amongst higher institutions, so it made me feel like my interests would be pursuable and respected here. 
If you weren't a doctor, what would your career be? I thought about pursuing a PhD in History for a long time as well; I studied medicine and history of medicine as one of my degrees in undergrad at the U (the other was biology). I really do love history of medicine and the HMED department at UMN is wonderful! I still would like to teach history of medicine in the future, and have played with the idea of pursuing a PhD later.
What are your future career plans (so far)? I truly love Hospital medicine, so I would like to become a Hospitalist. I tend to love all the specialties when I rotate through them and because of that have a hard time choosing one to pursue for the rest of my career. I also loved the OR, just not the lifestyle and some of the culture, and becoming a Hospitalist allows me to practice procedural medicine still. 
What are your favorite hobbies and/or ways to decompress outside work? I love to run and bike! I’m training for the Ely half marathon for fall 2024, and recently got a new bike that I’ve been riding around town. I treated myself to a Peloton for graduation from medical school and that’s been a lifesaver in terms of stress relief/bad weather days. Outside of that, I love hiking and camping with my family (Colorado and Minnesota, plus Utah most springs). I also love to bake (my sourdough starter’s name is Frodough Baggins), cook for my family and friends, read, play with my two dogs, and draw.

I tend to be fairly active and find that having multiple options for decompression works best for me. Taking care of myself through exercise, food, and exploring subjects outside of medicine through reading and art help to keep me settled and happy.
