I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to rotate at the University of New Mexico. These past four weeks have been an incredible learning experience, and it has been a privilege to be part of such a welcoming and supportive team. I want to emphasize that the University of New Mexico is my top choice for residency.
I was particularly inspired by the diverse and medically underserved patient population that UNM serves. I want to train at an institution that will allow me to continue building on the skills and knowledge to better serve this community. Many times during my rotation, I felt a strong connection with my patients, as if I were caring for my own family.
