Why UC Davis?: During my audition rotation, I immediately felt at home. The residents and faculty were incredibly welcoming and created a very supportive environment. I could see myself being happy here while also receiving top-quality training. PM&R is such a broad field and UC Davis does a great job ensuring wide exposure with a diverse patient population. It's an additional bonus that Sacramento is a great city where I can be close to my family.
