Why I chose this program

• I chose Trinity Health Muskegon because of the people and the location. During my rotation here as a medical student, I felt welcomed and supported by the entire ED team. I appreciated how collaborative the environment was and how involved I was in patient care. That experience made it clear this was the kind of place I wanted to train. I am confident this program will give me the training and mentorship I need to become a well-rounded physician.

Hometown 

• Chicago, Illinois

​

Why I chose this program

• I was first drawn for the beach and proximity to my family, but I quickly realized how amazing Michigan is and why so many people never want to leave this state. Trinity Health Muskegon's Emergency Medicine program, in particular, offers exposure to such a wide variety of cases, since it serves much of the west side of the state. It also has outstanding and brilliant faculty and current residents who foster a very welcoming environment.

Hometown

• Rockford, Illinois

 

Why I chose this program

• I chose West Michigan based on my audition and elective rotations. I was constantly exposed to a high level of acuity and a variety in patient demographics which provided such valuable learning experiences. The attending and senior residents also created a collaborative teaching environment where I was pushed everyday but supported and encouraged along the way.

Hometown 

• Holland, Michigan

​

Why I chose this program

• West Michigan is home for me. After rotating at the local EM programs, it became clear that Muskegon was where I belonged. I found the program to be superior in terms of resident knowledge, exposure to high acuity patients and procedures. Rather than being "integrated" into trauma cases, I saw residents take the leading role which translated not only into confidence in the protocols but also an ability to think critically and work beyond basic ATLS. I think a program's senior residents are on the best measures of their quality and these are resident I aspire to be like. Above all else, the teaching faculty were some of the most genuine, down-to-earth physicians I have worked with.

Hobbies and Interests

• I love enjoying the outdoors with my wife. In addition to mountain biking and hunting, we've recently picked up mountaineering.

Hometown 

• Romeo, Michigan

​

Why I chose this program

• I did an audition rotation here and absolutely loved it! The residents felt like a little family - super welcoming and really connected beyond work. The faculty and residents were so kind, loved teaching, and made sure we got hands-on experience! You get the best of both worlds between the two campuses: unopposed procedure experience, high acuity, and diverse patient populations. Plus, West MI summers on the lake are top tier.

Hobbies and Interests

• Outside of work, I enjoy rock climbing, gymnastics, and playing pickleball. I also attend a lot of live music / concerts and love to travel when I can.
