Why you chose Inova and program pluses: Inova’s program is small enough to develop close relationships with the residents and faculty, yet large and diverse enough to see those "zebras" and to learn how to handle a large patient load. It has an impressive fellowship match and immensely kind and supportive faculty and residents. The Washington, DC region offers endless things to see and do as well.
