Why Spartanburg Regional? I was so excited to have matched at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System for my intern year! I knew that I wanted a transitional year to be able to get strong clinical exposure to both medicine and surgery during my intern year. Several friends had previously completed their intern year here, and they all had positive experiences. Additionally, on the interview trail for Radiology, discussion of intern years would often ensue, and the Spartanburg TY was inevitably brought up. I even heard it once called the "Gem of the South." During the interview itself, I felt that Dr. Davis was genuinely interested In fostering our clinical competence, and it was clear that the hospital itself cares for the residents with its generous benefits package. As a bonus, Spartanburg is a lovely and charming town that is very family-friendly. Finally, I was able to train within driving distance of my wife's and my family. Overall, I was confident that I would get excellent and diverse training in a wonderful area close to family.

Why Spartanburg Regional? The reputation of the program was my initial draw. Alumni are proud of graduating from this incredible program. Upon interviewing, I saw why. The people are incredible, humble, and kind. I knew this was the training environment I wanted to be part of and knew my personal and professional interests would be supported. An added benefit was staying close to home and, of course, being well-fed at work.
