The Student Association of the ACOFP continues to partner with Resident Council on the “Resident Council Spotlight Series” of personal interviews and articles. We are excited about the insights and perspectives our residents provide students in planning for residency and engaging in volunteer opportunities within ACOFP.

I chose my program for several reasons:
My day is incredibly variable – my morning could be spent seeing patients in clinic, lunch could be spent in the operating room for a cesarean section, and my afternoon can be spent on the floor managing my inpatient panel. The variability of my day provides me a lot of excitement and challenge in residency.
I have always wanted to be a “do it all” physician. As a family medicine physician, I can function in the unique capacity of caring for someone when they enter this world and when they leave it. This breadth of practice is incredibly stimulating and rewarding.
Yes, I volunteered as a student peer review intern for Osteopathic Family Physician and served on the Editorial Committee.
Presence—medical school and residency are incredibly busy, and life seemingly passes you by. Be present in every part of this journey because it’s one that rarely anyone else gets to enjoy.
