After growing up in Fort Worth, I was lured back to Dallas to train in Emergency Medicine. I chose UTSW/Parkland for several reasons: autonomy, county hospital, acuity, volume, location, the people, and proximity to family. I have really enjoyed the residency so far and it is amazing how fast it has gone by. I anticipate practicing Emergency Medicine in the metroplex after learning all that I can over the next year at Parkland/New Zealand.
