Why did you choose UPMC residency program?

I was attracted to PM&R’s focus on how enhancing how people interact with their environments can have a positive impact on their function and quality of life. UPMC is a familiar place. My high school was located a few blocks away from Presby, and I volunteered at both Mercy and Presby. Furthermore, the PM&R team presented a comprehensive program paired with an interview experience that was a cut above the rest.
