Why did you choose South Campus FM residency?
I chose South Campus Family Medicine residency because of the nationally recognized faculty, commitment to rural medicine, and opportunities to practice evidence-based medicine. South Campus faculty members go above and beyond for both the residents and patients.

Tell us about your family (including pets!)
I am fortunate to have a great family. My family is from Eastern Europe and I am first generation. I grew up in a small mining town called Ajo, 120 miles Southwest from Tucson, near the border of Mexico. My father worked for the mining company Phelps-Dodge and my mother was a house wife.
