“Why South Side?”:
My interest in the Southside Family Medicine Residency Program is driven by its dedication to serving the underserved population of Milwaukee’s south side. The program’s mission to train culturally competent family physicians to provide care to underserved communities highly resonates with my personal goals and interests in practicing medicine.
Training with the Southside Family Medicine Residency Program will enable me to make a meaningful impact on these communities and gain valuable experience in providing care to refugee populations, which is a passion of mine as an immigrant myself. Additionally, the opportunity to train across the full scope of family medicine in a community setting, with affiliations to an academic center renowned for its clinical excellence, is highly appealing. During my second visit to the clinic, I felt a strong and immediate sense of belonging, thanks to the amazing, kind, and helpful faculty and residents. I am extremely confident that this program will provide the comprehensive training and supportive environment I seek to achieve my professional goals.

“Why South Side?”:
I came to South Side Family Medicine because I love its mission of community-focused medicine and focus on serving the Latino population of South Side Milwaukee.

“Why South Side?”:
I chose MCW’s South Side Family Medicine Residency Program because of the perfect balance between high quality inpatient training at Froedtert and Children’s Wisconsin with the clinic’s strong commitment to building community within Milwaukee’s South Side. I was also lucky to train under many of South Side’s faculty during medical school and knew they prepared their residents to succeed in any realm of full-scope family medicine, especially within my interests of addiction medicine and community medicine. The final selling point was how kind and genuine the residents were on interview day!
