    Why UCI?

    The community that our program serves is diverse and underrepresented, the kind of population that I want to serve my whole career. I also appreciate the presence of OB practicing family physicians because I aspire to be able to do the same in the future. While going through a virtual interview season, the UCI faculty and residents were the most approachable and genuine people I met, and having a healthy, supportive working environment was especially important to me. After arriving at the program all of these things have held true, and I'm so excited to be here for the next 3 years!
