 My name is Gabrielle Rattaccio. I'm a PGY3 at the University of Maryland and a rising chief resident. Everybody always asks me why Baltimore? I'm from upstate New York. I grew up there. And I think it became obvious to me when I set foot on this campus just the unparalleled clinical opportunities I've had. I would have here and have had here and the opportunities for personal growth as a physician. We really are a high acuity, high intensity program, but we're situated in Baltimore. And so that allows us to have such a strong clinical impact on the health of our town. I think we're all united by a dedication to the people of Baltimore and Maryland. We're united by a commitment to those that we serve. And that ethos really fosters a sense of collaboration and collegialities, not just among the residents and faculty in the internal medicine department, but also among all of the services. I think it's really unfortunate because of the pandemic. You won't have an opportunity to maybe come here and meet us and see our program for what we are. But I think social media can be a window and can be a vantage point. We've really tried through our Instagram, umdimrez, to showcase our spirit and to let you in on what it's like to be at our program. The things that we learn in a day, the interprofessional teams within which we work to serve our patients, our scholastic achievements, but certainly that we have fun inside and outside of the hospital. So I urge you to come take a look at our Instagram so you can try to get a sense of whether or not you want to become one of us. I'll be a rising chief resident this year. And one of the reasons that I pursued becoming a chief resident was because I wanted to have a hand in shaping and evolving our program for the future. Baltimore is such an important community within the entire United States. And I think if you are a physician with an eye toward social justice, this is a place for you. I think that you really can care for the people of Baltimore and the people of Maryland and have a huge impact as a physician. It's certainly a place that you would enjoy training and certainly a place that will set you up as your career develops further. As a resident, you have the opportunity to educate students and be involved in interprofessional development. And I think that that's really a wonderful aspect of our program as well. Certainly we have noon conference every single day that allows us to learn about topics and evidence-based medicine, but also about the social determinants of health of our city and have an eye towards research and learning. There are a lot of opportunities for research here at the University of Maryland. I have been involved in GI research, but there's certainly lots of opportunities. We have great mentorship through our clinical practice. And we're set up very early on to have a mentor that can kind of guide you on your path towards research and certainly helps you to interweave research into your clinical practice as a resident. As you go along your search, please feel free to reach out to us and to take a look at our website and our social media accounts so you can see what it will be like if you are a member of our family. We hope to see you here soon. Hi, my name is Jonathan Naugh. I'm a second-year resident at the University of Maryland Medical Center. I had the pleasure of being a medical student here and throughout those four years, I got to work with all the residents over at the University of Maryland. When I got to my clinical rotations and I got to work with the fantastic residents here, what really brought me to stay here was that everyone was so friendly and everyone was so interested in teaching and that's why I wanted to stay here for residency. I felt like that's been the case even when I've stayed here as well. Me and my co-residents, we created a podcast so that we got to learn about each other inside and outside of the professional workplace. And it's been a fantastic journey learning about how people think about clinical cases and also learning about how people spend their time outside of medicine. And it's been so fulfilling learning about people's pets, their baking and all the fantastic stories that they've had from residency. And I hope that as you consider coming here that we can continue to learn more about you and become not only great co-workers but also great friends as well.
