Deepthi Bandaru
Where are you from? Hyderabad, India.
Why did you choose the College of Medicine – Tucson Pediatrics Residency Program? Everyone I met on my interview day was very friendly and I could see myself being supported throughout my residency. Being a medium-sized program meant being able to interact with all of my peers and faculty and be able to make meaningful connections.
What are your current professional interests and career goals? I am currently interested in gen peds but still open to fellowship based on my experiences during residency.
What are your personal interests and hobbies? I love reading books and also spend time painting with acrylics. I also like to travel and explore new places.
What is your favorite thing about Tucson? The beautiful landscapes and sunsets are my favorite parts about Tucson. Also there are so many great food options to try out each time.
What are your non-medical goals during residency? To travel as much as I can and take my paints with me capturing those moments through my art.
