Why Yale’s Emergency Medicine Program:

After interviewing at way too many programs, I came to Yale and just knew it was where I wanted to be. The diverse faculty with immense sub-specialty training and various research interests in particular offers a fantastic academic environment. As well, the medical environment combines clinical experience in tertiary and community settings with a patient population that covers the full spectrum.
