Why did you choose VUMC Emergency Medicine?
The collegiality within the department and across the hospital at Vanderbilt stood out to me the most when I rotated here last summer. I was surrounded by residents, faculty, and staff who prioritized each other's growth and well-being, and I felt that extended to me as a rotator. Combined with the high volume and acuity seen across the adult and children's EDs, renowned didactics, unrivaled simulation curriculum, and excellent leadership and career development, Vanderbilt was the clear choice for me
