How Did You Choose Your Subspecialty Area?
I was academically very interested in this area and love the patient population. Oncology is a strength at URMC. We have a large and ever-expanding cancer center. Also this subspecialty was very supportive of both my research and clinical interests.
What is Unique about the PSTP Program at the University of Rochester?
This program provides support and guidance at various stages of your training from resident, to fellow, to junior faculty.
How Would You Recommend the Program?
If your goal is to become a physician researcher, this program is designed to help you along your career.
Something Cool About Yourself that has Nothing to Do with Medicine or Science
I'm a few years past being cool unfortunately. I spend my free time jogging, hiking, watching baseball games, and looking for new ways to sneak vegetables into my kids' dinners.
Grants, Publications and Honors Awarded During Training Program
During my time in the program I received a Conquer Cancer Foundation Award, the Wilmot Fellowship and a Technology Development Fund grant. I am actively working on my third first-author publication and have co-authored several papers.
