Why APH? I had the opportunity to rotate at APH during my last year of medical school – I was consistently inspired by the passion, dedication, and teaching spirit of the attending physicians. Equally important was the camaraderie I witnessed among the residents – there was a genuine sense of teamwork, respect, and support that made a lasting impression on me. I felt welcomed, valued, and encouraged, and I knew it was the kind of environment I would thrive both personally and professionally. Choosing APH feels like coming full circle - I was born at this hospital, so returning for pediatric training marks a meaningful return to my roots.
