Future Plans? Cardiovascular Diseases

Fav thing about UAMS Internal Medicine Residency?  Students, residents, and faculty. I will say it again and again, the best thing is how supportive we are of each other.

What do you do outside of the hospital to relax/have fun? Golf, fly fish, hunt, cook, hang out with our Goldendoodle, “Hazel.”

Fav show to binge watch?  The Office

Anything else you want the world/future applicants to know about yourself? UAMS has helped get me where I am today. Seriously consider working here if you’d like to work in a friendly environment with high quality research and clinical experience.
