What attracted you to Baystate Medical Center?
I rotated at BMC as a student and all my favorite preceptors were here. BMC has a wonderful culture for learning. Both the pharmacists and other healthcare workers are happy to share knowledge and learn from you as well. Preceptors are extremely invested in not only your learning but your well-being.
What is your favorite thing about living in the area?
There’s a similar amount of fun breweries and restaurants as Eastern MA, but with much better views (mountains, trees, etc.).
What are you most excited for this year?
I’m so excited to advance my knowledge in the world of Infectious Diseases and gain exposure to practicing with patient populations that I have not yet experienced, such as pediatrics.
