Why UC Davis? I did a two week away rotation here and instantly felt like a valued part of the team. The attendings and residents really valued education and I loved that the program exposed the residents to a wide variety of PM&R, with early exposure to procedures in the second year. Additionally, I was interested in returning back to California, and Sacramento seemed like a great place to be with good access to the coast and the mountains.
