I chose SIU Plastic Surgery because it provided everything I was looking for: expertise in plastic surgery, ongoing research in the field of medical and surgical education, a support system.  The education at SIU Plastic Surgery is outstanding, providing residents with the knowledge and autonomy they need to be successful plastic surgeons after training.  SIU Medicine is known for its medical and surgical education, research, and innovation; as someone who is interested in pursuing academic medicine, I knew SIU would be a place that I could learn and practice medical and surgical education strategies while in residency.  Finally, and most importantly, the attending physicians and my fellow residents at SIU are incredibly supportive, approachable, knowledgeable, and fun.  The comradery between the residents makes me excited and honored to be a part of the team.  I felt SIU Plastic Surgery would provide the best learning and living environment for me, and I am incredibly happy with my decision!
