Why SUNY/Kings County: I've wanted to come to Kings County/SUNY since my first time in the emergency department. The residents and attendings all knew how to manage any problem that came their way and despite the volume of patients, there was always an incentive placed on teaching and making sure that every clinical experience was also an educational one. The providers at Kings County/Downstate embodied the kind of practitioner I hope to be one day, a clinical monster!
