Why I chose Broadlawns-UnityPoint Psychiatry Residency

I chose this residency because I was excited to live and train in a community that felt like home, I had personal ties to the area through my wife and extended family, and was drawn to the quality of life the city offers. In addition, training here has allowed me to explore how psychiatry can best serve rural populations while developing a strong foundation across a wide range of clinical services.

Hobbies

Weightlifting, Playing any sports, Cooking for my family, and Reading about history and politics

Favorite thing about Des Moines

The huge number of events every week, so many restaurants, the Iowa State Fair, downtown, too many things to count!
