I chose to pursue the Infectious Disease fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Arizona because I wish to continue pursuing my interest in chronic diseases that I developed as a medical student and later as a research assistant in which I worked with valley fever patients. In addition to its reputation, the Mayo Clinic provides an exceptional environment for me to grow as a physician and researcher due to the vast array of resources it has in regards to patient care, education, and the latest medical studies. The Phoenix area is an ideal setting for me to continue pursuing my interests in valley fever and other chronic infectious diseases.
