    Why they chose SIU

    While rotating at SIU as a 4th-year medical student, I was instantly drawn to the camaraderie and teamwork-driven mindset amongst the residents.  I was equally impressed with the surgical volume and exceptional level of hands-on experience the residents obtained in the operating room.  Now as a resident, I'm pleased to say my first impressions of SIU Urology remain true.  One intangible benefit worth noting is how close-knit the residents and faculty are with each other.  We spend plenty of time together both in and out of the hospital, which effectively enhances the culture of our residency experience.  As someone who grew up around big cities, Springfield is a charming city that makes an ideal place to train with a low cost of living and close proximity to both hospitals we serve.  Simply put, SIU is not only a gem of the Midwest but of the nation at large.
