What makes your Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) training program different from others across the country?

This program provides exposure to a large patient-population with a variety of different pathologies, which helps increase learning opportunities and enhance our training experience. 

What has been the most extraordinary part of your training experience so far?

It’s the ability to work with kind and approachable clinicians and colleagues. I enjoy having attendings who are always available to provide guidance and like to teach at every opportunity.

What is one memory you have from your training so far that will stay with you for your career?

I enjoy the Thursday afternoon didactic sessions. We have the opportunity to relax, talk about any issues that may have come up, think about possible solutions and learn more about various endocrinopathies.

What is one piece of advice you would share with someone as they select a training program?

Choose a program that you feel is best suited for your future career goals. Find a program that makes you feel included as part of the team and gives you the opportunity to grow and learn as much as possible.
