What attracted you to this program?
I noted that they had the most number of female faculty and many faculty who actively do and support the OB track. Frequently, other residencies only have one faculty on Ob track.

What makes this program unique?
“The positive feedback and constructive criticism that is given. Our faculty do not teach by being inappropriate. Our residency director, Dr Albers, and all of the faculty do not tolerate poor behavior amongst any attending. Our program is well rounded and gives opportunity to first year interns to attend educational conferences. Other programs do not allow their interns to attend conferences their first year.”

What is living in Springfield like?
“Living in Springfield is conducive to residency life. It is peaceful here and during leisure time, everything I like to do like go the gym, bowl, bike and other recreational activities are all close by. We do a really good job here getting together for social gatherings as much as possible
