Why Ventura? So many reasons. First, our training is great at our busy community hospital. The residents and attendings from all specialties are amazing. Faculty, Program Directors, and Associate Programs Directors are supportive, and the staff is beyond helpful. The community feel is unmatched – from the medical students to residents, everyone is a part of the Community Memorial community and hospital system. Even more perks include living 4 minutes from the beach and the hospital at the same time, driving distance from family, proximity to Ojai hikes, Santa Barbara beaches and mountains, food, and friends in LA and the Channel Islands!

Next Adventure: More travel hopefully. Ventura to Ojai bike trail and more Channel Islands activities.

Medical Interests: Critical Care, Medical Education
