Why I chose MetroHealth PM&R Residency: I met the most genuine residents on interview day and could tell they took great pride in their work and seemed prepared for anything once they came out of residency. I knew I wanted to be part of a culture that would push me to be my best by giving me the autonomy early on to take care of patients and work with like-minded, motivated residents. 

My favorite things about living in Cleveland:  great variety of restaurants (I have a top 3-5 list of most cuisines). Cavs tickets are well priced. Everything is 15-25 minutes away with little traffic.
