Why did you choose Parkland? There are numerous reasons I chose Parkland, including the vast diversity in rotations offered, the large number of coresidents, as well as the opportunity to obtain a teaching certificate. However, what stands out to me the most is the culture. When I was applying for residencies, I knew I wanted to be part of a team that put the patient first. Parkland has designed a hospital that is meant to help patients heal; everything from the flooring, to the layout of the building. I also wanted to work for an institution that gave back to the community. Parkland has numerous outreach programs including Homeless Outreach Medical Services (HOMES) and correctional health services that directly benefit the Dallas County community. Finally, the incredible pharmacists at Parkland made me feel right at home throughout the interview process. Parkland has a long history of serving Dallas County and I am incredibly excited to be a part of that legacy.
