Why did you choose U of A Emergecy Medicine? I chose the U of A because of how passionate and excited the residents were about the program throughout my interview and social. I was impressed by the environment the U of A creates and how closely knit the program is. I felt right at home as soon as I met everyone, and I knew this would be a great fit for me.
