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

As almost every student, I was looking for a program where I could get a diverse clinical experience with a well-balanced curriculum, high board passing rates, etc, but as for me it was also very important to have good people by my side. And I am so happy that I ended up here at MSU/Sparrow pediatric residency. It definitely combines everything that I was looking for.
