Why Spartanburg Regional? When it came time to decide where I wanted to spend my transitional year, Spartanburg Regional really stood out to me. I've heard such amazing things about the teaching and learning environment from former residents - it's clear they really prioritize giving their residents an outstanding educational experience. As someone who thrives in that type of supportive, hands-on training setting, I knew it would be the perfect fit. I wanted to be able to see a wide variety of things to prepare me for my future radiology training, and the program offered every stop I wanted to hit! Beyond the academic draw, I was also really excited about the area. Having grown to love the Upstate region during my time in Greenville, the idea of staying nearby and being able to easily visit friends while also getting to explore a new area like Spartanburg was hugely appealing. From everything I've heard, it's got such a vibrant local community with plenty to do, amazing outdoor recreation right in the foothills of the mountains, and just an all-around great atmosphere for this stage of training.
