About the Duke program
What were you looking for in a residency program?
I was looking for a place I felt at home, a place where I had a comfort level with the residents that I met, and felt like I could build a relationship outside of Orthopaedics.
What are your research and clinical interests at this time?
I am interested in Health Care disparity research, I am interested in exploring biomechanics research and how it potentially affects injuries in adolescent athletes. Clinically, I am interested in trauma surgery and learning more about subspecialties I have not had the exposure to such as oncology.
