I couldn't be happier to have matched here. I truly love so many things about this program! I feel supported, I've made amazing friends, and I feel that I am constantly learning without fear of being wrong. This system truly cares about us as residents and values our work and well-being. We have excellent attendings, chiefs and senior residents that have constantly made my life better. I wouldn't change it for the world! I love how our program is constantly helping us learn! Whether it's attendings teaching on rounds, intern/night report, boards prep articles from our chiefs, senior residents taking time to show us an educational PowerPoint, or our fun noon conferences (with free lunch!!!) - my day is spent surrounded by a constant flow of teaching in a way that is perfectly at my level. Milwaukee is great. I attend Bucks games, Brewers games, musicals, river cruises, pedal taverns, music festivals, the State Fair, apple/pumpkin picking, learning to curl, ice skating downtown! There is literally something for every season. Our class is able to get a group together at least once per month to do something fun, and I feel that the balance of rotations has allowed me to accomplish all of the life tasks (doctors, dentists, haircuts, grocery shopping) that I need to do.

I can't say enough about how encouraging faculty have been with regards to my need to figure out what I'm doing with my life. Physicians, even department chairs, have been so friendly and responsive to requests to meet and talk about their careers. I have had a slew of recommendations for people to talk to with regards to being a woman in leadership positions in medicine. I didn't know what to expect, but knowing that there are so many people who really want to be part of their residents' "formative years" (for lack of a better term) and to help us find our way and succeed has been lovely.
