Why I Chose Johns Hopkins: As I researched (and applied to) OB/GYN residency programs, there were a few priorities that very quickly became non-negotiable for me. Specifically, I was, and still am, intent on receiving excellent, evidence-based clinical and surgical training; serving populations that look like me, while being trained by faculty who do, as well; and feeling nurtured and supported as I learn, grow, teach, advocate, and advance this remarkable field. Hopkins is the only program that checked every single box for me and very clearly prioritizes the same things that I do. Beyond that, Hopkins’ Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics is home to scholars and innovators, trailblazers and researchers, up-standers and leaders, who are united by a common mission of equitable healthcare delivery, robust medical education, and needle-pushing research. I am so grateful—and even more honored—to train here at Hopkins, and I look forward to seeing the kind of physician I will emerge as four years from now

Why I Chose Johns Hopkins: During my visiting Sub-I, I quickly understood the unparalleled opportunities available for Ob/Gyn training at Johns Hopkins, including continuous gynecological surgical exposure, invested mentorship both from co-residents and attendings, and prioritization of research infrastructure to support my long-term career goals. My interview day further reinforced that the Gyn/OB program at Hopkins is supportive, close-knit, and committed to advocating for the entire Baltimore community and beyond. I am so grateful to be training alongside this inspiring group of faculty and co-residents!

Why I Chose Johns Hopkins: I chose Johns Hopkins for many reasons - the program’s commitment to education and excellence, training in a wide range of sub-specialties, and dedication to serving the Baltimore community. Johns Hopkins also has a robust medical genetics program which I’m eager to explore in the context of reproductive sciences. Above all, the residents and faculty left me with the impression that the Gyn/Ob department is a family - a family which I am proud to have joined.

Why I Chose Johns Hopkins: One of my top priorities when choosing a residency program was a commitment to building and empowering their community, both inside the hospital and beyond. I wanted to be taught by providers who work to know and appropriately advocate for their diverse patient population, and everyone I spoke to at Hopkins on my interview day shared that view. I also really resonated with the “physician and” ethos at Hopkins that empowers residents to strive for excellence in spaces both inside and outside the hospital. I wanted to be surrounded by colleagues with their drive, who empower me to further develop my passions outside the hospital, while being the best clinician I can be. Finally, I felt very at home while speaking to the faculty and residents on my interview day. Everyone I met was warm and easygoing, and it was clear that they truly cared to know me and bolster my success. There was such a strong sense of camaraderie and genuine support, and I want to be a part of that.

Why I Chose Johns Hopkins: I chose Hopkins for a multitude of reasons, including its incredible clinical and surgical training, plentiful research opportunities, and the program's focus on advocacy efforts and giving back to the Baltimore community. I knew that training here would prepare me to be an advocate for my patients at both the level of the individual patient encounter and the level of broader policy landscapes. Additionally, its location in a state with expanded abortion access so close to the nation's capital made it an ideal choice for my next step in training as someone hoping to influence policymaking to promote reproductive justice in my career.
