OB/GYN Residency Program

Why did you choose WIH/Brown OB/GYN?

The midwives! I love midwifery care; I studied and deeply considered a career in midwifery before pursuing an MD and the opportunity to be mentored by midwives was a pull I couldn't resist! I also love the variety of experience Brown residents get during their training: it's pretty unique to have a women's health ED. I have dreams of someday practicing in a rural community so acuity care and triage feel important to my life learning as well. Furthermore, I was impressed by the opportunities in family planning, particularly during a time when access to abortion is so varied and at risk state by state. Brown feels like a home that will support my passion and commitment to reproductive justice and will give me the skills I need to provide patient-centered services across the entire spectrum of pregnancy, regardless of pregnancy outcome.

What are your interests within OB/GYN?

Family planning, midwifery care, reproductive justice and advocacy, narrative medicine, and medical anthropology.

What is your favorite thing to do in Providence and/or Rhode Island?

The ocean! And wandering, meandering, and exploring new nooks and crannies.

Where do you live?

The West End

One fun fact about you:

I was 10 lbs 4 oz at birth, born at home to a first time mama, ushered into the world by a homebirth midwife! I've been fighting for the right to birth as we wish ever since :)

One piece of advice for candidates:

Have fun with it, relax into it - you have worked so hard and if you have made it so far! All the places run together a bit on the interview trail, but the special places will stick out to you - if you find yourself thinking about a place again and again, it means something. Go with where your attention is taking you. The match/universe works in mysteries ways! Roll with it and know that you really can't go wrong.
