Why did you choose the MSU/Sparrow Pediatric Residency Program?

I have heard wonderful things about the program from one of its current residents, and it was an honor to receive an interview invitation.

During the interview, program's friendly and welcoming atmosphere fascinated me! Everyone was genuinely nice, and I am confident that learning in such an environment will be both interesting and productive. This, along with the small class size, diverse patient population, and wide range of electives promises the opportunity for hands-on, comprehensive training, which will help me become a well-rounded and competent pediatrician.

Four seasons climate.

Moreover, I am looking forward to exploring Michigan’s cities during the next 3 years as I have not visited any of them (other than Lansing) yet.

Wonderful nature, nice people and great public transportation system. Besides that, I am really happy with my apartment, which is located close to the Sparrow Hospital and has a view of the Michigan Capitol.

What are your hobbies?

Reading, walking, taking pictures of city views and study aesthetics.

What are your career goals?

I am currently interested in pediatric immunology and plan to pursue Allergy & Immunology fellowship in the future. However, I keep an open mind regarding my future career and am willing to explore various options in order to find the best fit for me.
