Why did you choose UMMC?:
I chose the UMMC because of the strong sense of community and the culture that truly feels like a family. During my interactions with residents and faculty, it was clear that there is a genuine commitment to supporting one another and fostering both personal and professional growth. The program also offers a robust clinical volume with a diverse patient population, providing an amazing environment to develop surgical skills and clinical judgment. Equally important, UMMC has a wealth of dedicated mentors who are deeply invested in resident education and are excited to help trainees succeed.
