The opportunities that presented themselves during my training were innumerous. The diversity and complexity of patients provided me with a unique and unparalleled educational experience. Training at one of the leading academic centers in the country has distinct advantages and has definitely launched many careers both academic and non-academic alike. Herein lays one of the many beauties of the Cleveland Clinic. It is an institution that can train outstanding residents for careers in Internal Medicine while also preparing the same for many different subspecialty fellowships. Graduates leaving the Cleveland Clinic have many employment as well as fellowship opportunities. The program’s match success is partly due to the world renowned reputation of the Cleveland
Clinic and the quality of physicians it trains.

Having come from Florida, it was a daunting task at first to convince my wife that Cleveland would be a great place for both of us. After three years, she was finally convinced that I was right. We even added an additional year to our time in Cleveland for my appointment as Chief Medical Resident. Cleveland is a very livable city and has much to offer. There are a lot of neighborhoods to choose from with ample affordable housing. From the downtown nightlife to concerts in the park, we never ran out of things to do.

Even though I’ve left the Cleveland Clinic for my Cardiology fellowship with the University of Minnesota, I will always look back on my time here fondly. I believe the training that I received here in Internal Medicine has laid the framework for excellence in the rest of my medical career. I hope you will join the program here at the Clinic to begin to build the foundation for your future.
