About the Duke program

What were you looking for in a residency program?
Duke University offers world-class academic training and clinical education. The capacity for innovation, renowned faculty, and surgical autonomy at the University is unparalleled. This program has a rich tradition of excellence and creating leaders in the field of Orthopedics. Not only are the faculty, staff, and residents among the best and the brightest, they are some of the hardest working and supportive individuals I have met. I looked for these factors when choosing a residency program and Duke had them all.

What are your research and clinical interests at this time?
I like it all.

About Duke University and Durham

Where did you choose to live, and why?
I chose to live in South Durham. I couples matched with my significant other who is a resident at UNC in Pediatrics. South Durham splits the distance between the medical campuses.

What do you like to do outside of medicine?
Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, going to music festivals, working out, hanging out with friends, and watching sports (especially University of Michigan football, and the Buffalo Bills).
