Reflections on the Pitt EM Program
What were you looking for in a residency program?
I was looking for a residency program that had aspects of all parts of EM (academics, community and county), as well as ample opportunities to get involved with teaching.
What are the strengths of the Pitt EM program?
It's like a family environment from the top down. Faculty are incredibly supportive and approachable. And my coresidents are awesome.
Tell us about your residency classmates! How long did it take to connect?
We connected before we even moved in. Great people to be around!
What has surprised you most about Pitt?
How down to earth everyone is here. Some of the best and biggest names in EM are so invested in your education and learning to know you as person.
