Why did you choose UMass Chan for fellowship? Having trained in various parts of the world, I've connected with health care professionals from diverse backgrounds, several of whom completed their training at UMass - and they consistently spoke highly of the strong clinical foundation, hands-on experience, and supportive environment. Furthermore, UMass offers a high-volume, hands-on structural heart program with excellent exposure. I was particularly drawn to the opportunity to grow as a primary operator in complex structural procedures while learning from experienced faculty in a collegial, supportive environment.

What are your favorite Central Massachusetts activities? Can't wait to explore Central Massachusetts - hiking at Wachusett, kayaking on Lake Quinsigamond, checking out Worcester's food scene, and maybe catching a show at Hanover Theatre. Looks like there's a lot to enjoy outside the hospital, too!
