Why did you choose Duke for residency training?
I was drawn to Duke Dermatology mainly because of the department’s values that placed a genuine emphasis on engaging with the Durham community, diversity and training well-rounded and compassionate physicians. Additionally, I pivoted from a career in general pediatrics because of a particular interest in pediatric dermatology and global medicine. Duke has offered abundant opportunities for me to start exploring these professional passions under the guidance of experienced and impactful mentors in these fields.
