Why did you choose the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital residency program?
I chose this program because of the wide variety of services provided and the opportunity to complete rotations in my area of interest while gaining exposure to ambulatory services in transplant and cystic fibrosis. What set JDCH apart from other programs was the commitment to ensuring that I received experiences that would further my own professional goals which included creating a new rotation in medication safety.
