The program is very clinically strong. We had diverse exposure to different hospitals and surgeons. A great mix of general surgery and subspecialty training. With this diversity, every trainee can find what area interests them and also identify mentors. I felt well trained when I finished and was able to really focus on my fellowship and subspecialty training. Surgically, the case volume was robust. I really enjoyed the surgeons I worked with; they all taught me different things and I am very appreciative of that. That training is certainly a part of what I do every day in caring for my patients.

I always felt like I belonged from day one at UConn. The residency was my family for five years ... from fellow residents to the faculty to the hospital staff. It was a supportive learning environment where I spent some of the best years of my life and still talk to my co-chiefs and residents about life, cases and career. I also continue to keep in touch with my mentors who also became my friends and colleagues.
