Why you decided to come to our program: I did my rotations at Upstate. The encouraging wholesome environment at the department of Medicine, friendly attendings and residents and the strength of exposure to varied clinical situations impressed me. Dr. Knohl's talk at the interview convinced me that Upstate is the best place for me - academically and personally. The outdoors and the great small city feel that Syracuse has definitely helped!
