"I found the program very helpful. I started the meeting feeling lost about the whole application process and left feeling knowledgable and excited about the process.  All of my questions were answered and in a very timely manner." 

-Dr. Justin Kahn, 3rd Year Resident

"As a third year resident, beginning my career search was an overwhelming thought. During residency we spend so much time focusing on patient care and expanding medical knowledge, that when it came time to think about a life after residency, I wasn't sure where to start. The resident placement program provided assistance in distributing my resume, meeting knew contacts, and ultimately finding a practice that was a good fit for me."

-Dr. Erin Perkey, Chief Resident
