Another New Beginning




After a few flights, some long interviews and a near endless wait, we finally know where we will be spending next year - DENVER - After many long discussions over the past 3 1/2 years and many hours of contemplation I decided to apply to a GPR (1 year general practice residency). We looked at 3 programs seriously and The University of Colorado in Denver was the program that fit what I was looking for and a place we thought we might enjoy for a year while I gain a little extra experience. We were fortunate to be selected and are very excited about the opportunity and being alot closer to home and family. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement. We'll keep you posted on the move!!!
