Why Infectious Diseases?
I love the variety of cases you can see in infectious disease and the amount of detective work that is involved in those
cases. I enjoy being able to have a combination of patients that are followed for a long period of time (HIV) and others
that have acute infections that improve quickly. I have also always been interested in micro, so this is the perfect
field for me
Why Ochsner?
The welcoming faculty, the patient population, the great education, the schedule that allows for work-life balance, and
of course the exciting city of New Orleans

Why Infectious Diseases?
I decided to pursue Infectious Disease after an away rotation. I love how rewarding it can be to see
patients improve in a short course of time, the diagnostic approach required, the variety of pathology it
brings and lastly the investigative skills required to do this. I also have a keen interest in Critical Care
Infectious Diseases.
Why Ochsner?
The stellar academic reputation, community of patients it serves, proximity to home and east Texas, in
addition the diverse faculty and the best overall interview experience.
