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

I’ve always believed that it is extremely important to train in a program that has a supportive work environment. The resident camaraderie and faculty friendliness at Sparrow was clearly evident during the interview process and even the onboarding period. The program has also integrated the X+Y scheduling, which is a step towards resident-well being. Combining this with its comprehensive curriculum, this program can really help me grow into a well-rounded pediatrician.
