Why UW?
UW has everything I could want in a general surgery program. Our 5 state catchment area allows for a unique experience to deliver care to a diverse patient population. Harborview offers an amazing mix of trauma, critical care, and the opportunity to provide care to the underserved, while the UW Medical Center provides a highly technical and advanced surgical training experience. Most importantly, the people here at UW are amazing. I have felt completely supported and encouraged by both faculty and peers. I feel I’m part of a family here at UW.
