Why I chose a career in medicine:
I chose a career in medicine because of my genuine interest in learning and being challenged daily. I have a genuine passion and interest for all people and enjoy the connection between patient and physician! I look forward to learning from all my future patients and colleagues.
Why I decided to attend Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine Montana Campus:
From the day I interviewed with the Touro-MT campus, I felt welcomed and supported, and that alone made me want to pick the school that so clearly wants me to succeed. I also love the outdoors and was happy to have that access while entering a more stressful part of my life. I also have seen firsthand the need for more physicians in the state of Montana and was thrilled to have a state-of-the-art medical school that is willing to support the community and the future physicians to practice here in the state.
My first impressions of Touro Montana:
It has been nothing short of amazing, and I am truly impressed with all the staff and students here at Touro. The Touro campus is beautiful, and I am still in awe of the facility they have brought here to Great Falls, Montana. I am excited and thrilled to start this new journey surrounded by such a supportive staff and community!
