Why did you choose UC Davis EM?

Being a parent in medicine, having a support system is crucial for my success. I chose UCD EM for its proximity to my home and support network. As a UC Davis graduate, I was aware of the program's exceptional strengths such as its robust mentorship, comprehensive training, diverse patient population, and high volume of cases. These attributes set UC Davis EM apart from other programs in the area making them an ideal program for developing the skills needed to excel in any post residency practicing environment.
