Why I chose Valley Medical Center?
“I chose Valley Medical Center for its warm and collaborative work culture as well as its varied selection of rotations that matches the areas I wish to strengthen. I value how the residency program trusts its residents to be self-driven individuals and provides many tools and opportunities to push our boundaries. These are qualities that I feel are rare in workplaces even beyond residency programs, and I knew that I wanted to be a part of it.”
