PGY-2 Resident

Hometown: Alramtha, Jordan

What attracted you to the U of M for residency?  UMN easily ticked off all the boxes in my criteria for an ideal residency program. The solid curriculum, adequate program size, large volume and diversity of cases, teaching and learning opportunities, adequate elective rotations, and the myriad opportunities for fellowships are only some of the factors that pulled me in. Above all, what really stood out for me were the extremely amiable and friendly people who I met during my interview, be it the faculty members, the residents, or the program coordinators. Everyone was so kind and welcoming that I instantly knew I would feel at home in this program!

What do you love most about Minnesota?  The wonderful lakes and the amazing forests during Spring and Summer
