Plants, hiking, skiing, beach, and taking six months to read one book. Very curious to experience winter temperatures that don't drop to the single digits.

Why Fresno?
I came here for the first time for an away rotation as a fourth year medical student and fell in love with the program and with the area. I was blown away by the skill of the residents and the investment of the faculty (not to mention how much fun I had on every shift), and I knew that if I were a fraction as good as these seniors when I graduated, my patients would be ok. The acuity is high, the volumes are higher, and there are always problems to creatively solve. The easy outdoors access and proximity to my friends and family spread across California sealed the deal.
