Why you chose residency in Montana: Truthfully, it was a bit of a leap of faith. I just really appreciated and respected the attitude of the faculty and residents, the dedication to primary care and service to the underserved, and the balance between work and family. Oh yeah, and the mountains! After being here for a year, I can't imagine being anywhere else.
