Why did you pick WSU/DMC Neurology residency:
I chose the Neurology/Child Neurology Residency program at DMC/WSU because of the outstanding attendings, great clinical exposure, diverse patient population and diverse residents. This program provides us academic research opportunities at the same time exceptional clinical experience. I am also extremely interested in epilepsy and I know that this gives me a great opportunity to treat patients with complex seizure disorders and rare epileptic syndromes.
