Training at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation has been a truly rewarding experience. I believe that we have one of the best residency programs in the country. We are a large, yet, intimate program that affords residents the opportunity to pursue whatever their interests may be. There are innumerable possibilities when it comes to pursuing clinical or basic-science research. Our expert primary and subspecialty clinicians are readily accessable, passionately involved in resident education, and always willing to involve residents in their ground-breaking research.

Our broad-based exposure to tertiary care affords us the opportunity to see a wide variety of rare but fascinating pathology. In addition, we have no shortage “bread-and-butter” cases due to our service to the local community. We have the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technology at our fingertips should we need it, yet we focus on practicing cost-effective, evidence-based medicine. This diverse learning environment is intellectually stimulating, a great way to learn medicine, non-malignant, and fun. Our residents have paramount success in matching into competitive fellowships or finding great positions in primary care or hospital medicine.

Living in Cleveland has been wonderful. There are a lot of neighborhoods to choose from with ample affordable housing. Our housestaff association is extremely active and always plans fun, inexpensive outings for the entire family. There are lots of things to do in Cleveland from the downtown nightlife to concerts in the park. I never run out of fun things to do with my family.

I completed my internal medicine residency and was a Chief Medical Resident at the Cleveland Clinic. I am now in my second year of a gastroenterology fellowship, also at the Cleveland Clinic. I am proud to be a member of this academic community. If I could go back and change anything about my postgraduate training, I wouldn't change a thing.
