Why I chose Christiana Care and Delaware:

From the supportive attendings to the welcoming staff, there is a strong sense of community and an environment that truly encourages learning. You are encouraged to think independently, make decisions about patient care, and take ownership of your patients while still having the support and guidance you need. I feel that this balance, along with exposure to a diverse patient population and a wide range of cases, really prepares you to become a confident and capable physician in the real world.
