Why I chose MCW: As a graduate of MCW medical school, I was able to experience how great of a program MCW Orthopaedics has to offer and was more than willing to stay here for residency training. I knew training here at MCW would provide me with the fund of knowledge and hands on experience necessary to become the best orthopaedic surgeon I could be. My main priorities while selecting a residency program to train at included surgical autonomy and large, level 1 trauma case volume- both of which MCW excel at.

What MCW has to offer a candidate: MCW offers residents the opportunity to train at a large, level 1 trauma center as well as a renowned children’s hospital, all on the same campus. With high case volume, residents stay busy and have lots of hands-on experience with attendings. MCW also offers a friendly environment for residents, attendings, and all staff. You truly will make lifelong friends here.

What I like about living in Milwaukee: I personally live in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin (where the main hospital is located) which is a mere 15-minute drive from downtown Milwaukee. By living in the suburb of Wauwatosa, it grants me the ability to avoid traffic/long commutes to the hospital, all while having access to the amenities of a big city close by. Milwaukee has access to any and all activities you would be interested in including numerous reputable restaurants, sporting events, shops, bar life, etc. I especially enjoy running downtown by the lake in the summer.
