What attracted you to Mayo Clinic?
The main focus of Mayo Clinic is how the needs of the patient come first, which deeply resonates with my own values and beliefs. The openness and availability of the faculty are definitely advantageous for learning and collaboration. There are so many outstanding clinical opportunities that allow for true integration with other specialists, led by the “spirit of the clinic.” I believed Mayo Clinic would maximize my growth potential as a rheumatologist who is interested in excellent clinical care and research.
