Resident Testimonials
Braden Stanyer PGY-4
"I applied to UCSD Med-Peds because of its reputation for excellence, but I made it my top because of its stellar culture. The program leadership is deeply invested in making this the best place to train, and all the residents are dedicated to supporting each other’s success and wellbeing. I feel so lucky to be training in such a beautiful place with such wonderful people, and I can’t wait to pay that forward!”

“There are so many great med-peds residencies out there but UCSD was my top choice for a few different reasons! For one, the training on both sides is stellar - from experiences at major academic centers to those at local community clinics on the border, the breadth of exposure here is unparalleled. Additionally the diversity of the different communities we care for was a huge draw and one that has shaped me so much throughout residency! All that being said though, it was the people that really sold it for me. As a med student here I had the fortune of working with the UCSD Med-Peds residents and was blown away by their kindness, their passion, and their abundant curiosity (about medicine, learning, life, what qualities make for the best reality tv…you name it!). As a current resident, my med-peds peers and leadership have become essential resources, amazing community, and, at the end of the day, an unwavering home that I feel so lucky to have!”
