  • Why did you choose this program? I chose Rutgers because it provided me with everything I was looking for in a program. The opportunity to begin fellowship with research was very much an attractive feature for me. To be able to come in and start on groundbreaking research right away is very unique when compared to other programs in the country. The clinical training at Rutgers is incredibly robust, and there are several faculty members with whom fellows can learn various perspectives on patient care. Further, several faculty members did their own fellowship training at Rutgers and decided to stay on faculty, and I felt that spoke volumes of how great the comradery must be among the group. Lastly, it is clear to see that the program's number 1 priority is our education, and it is wonderful to be able to learn from such incredible teachers.
