Why did you choose to become part of Michigan State University Neurology?

As an osteopathic physician continuing my training in neurology, I was looking for an academic program that combined an open atmosphere for learning with faculty dedicated to resident education.  The dually accredited internship/neurology program, also make it possible for both AOA and ACGME board certification.  Overall, the holistic approach to wellness and environment conducive to learning convinced me that this would be the place to begin my journey as a neurologist.
