Hi there, I’m Kate! I was born in Durham, NC and lived in Denver, CO for a few years before settling into Phoenix, AZ at age 10. I completed my education in Phoenix, including undergrad at Arizona State University, where I studied biochemistry and anthropology, and medical school at University of Arizona, College of Medicine - Phoenix. In my free time, I love practicing yoga, trying new restaurants, and hiking with my husband, Justin, who’s also a resident in this program!
I was able to rotate here as a medical student and had a phenomenal experience. I was drawn to the unopposed nature of the program, which ensures that we build a wide range of strong skills. I also appreciate that there are no restrictions to the patients that you can see as an intern. You are encouraged to see the sickest patients and will be guided by upper-levels and attendings as a team. Our faculty are incredibly knowledgeable and always make time for teaching on-shift. In addition to the excellent training, this program has a lot of other aspects that were important to me - including excellent relationships with colleagues and nursing, perks like free food and parking, great moonlighting opportunities, and a well-designed shift schedule. My favorite part of all is the culture and the people in this program - everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive.
I wish you the best of luck in finding your future residency program and would absolutely encourage you to consider Corpus! 10/10 would recommend :)
