Family Medicine Residency Panel + Dinner



Our first event was a great success - thank you to all the hungry first-years who came to get in on our exceptional thai food, and of course, to ask all the important questions of our family medicine panelists.

Our panelists graciously explained how family medicine differs from other specialties (such as internal medicine), what kinds of experiences prepared them for a career in the field, relevant financial considerations and why they ultimately chose family medicine. Thank you to:

Dr. Tom Hines, Residency Director at BMC Family Medicine Residency
Dr. Caitlin Day, PGY3 at BMC Family Medicine Residency
Dr. Anthony Lim, BUSM '10 and resident at
Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency
Dr. Angelica Salazar, BUSM '10 and resident at
