Why did you come to Michigan?
I wanted to stay close to my home state Indiana, and there are a lot of opportunities in Michigan.
Why did you choose your specialty?
I chose Anesthesiology because I enjoy the interrelation between pharmacology and physiology. The perioperative care that entails anesthesiology was really attractive to me. [Transitional Year is a required prerequisite for anesthesiology.]
