Why UW Pediatrics/Seattle Children’s?
I like being around people that help me be a better doctor, leader, mentor, colleague, wife, mother, family member, and friend. I think it is important to learn something new every day. The people I am surrounded by at UW/SCH do this; they make it easy to learn and get better every day.
