Why did you choose UCDavis EM?

It's the best 3-year program in the West! We have faculty with interests in literally anything you could ever want to learn about, including the opportunity for a wide range of fellowships. The pediatric EM experience, in particular, is very comprehensive. This is in addition to super down to earth and fun residents, faculty, and ED staff. The location in Sac is super close to both the ocean and mountains, and with a large program there are always residents who are free to go do stuff on days off!
