These past couple of years have been some of the best in my life. I’ve developed lifelong friendships with many of the residents and received wonderful mentorship that has prepared me for my career. Not only has Utah Valley FM Residency prepared me for a career in medicine but they have prepared me to excel in a life outside of medicine as well. What’s Next? I have signed a contract to stay on with Intermountain at an outpatient practice where I hope to see patients of all ages. I am also planning on doing OB. I’m looking forward to teaching medical students and residents as well. As a Portuguese speaker, it’s been awesome having Portuguese speaking patients, and I hope to still have part of my patient panel be Portuguese speaking in the future as well.
