“When identifying traits that I wanted in a residency program, I knew that I wanted a program that cultivated a supportive culture and provided opportunities to grow as a researcher, clinician, and healthcare leader. Before I stepped on Brigham and Women’s campus, the department had supported me financially as a researcher and as a minority in its advocacy for diversity in medicine. Now that I’m here, the culture I saw on my interview day is still what I see practiced every day, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the BWH team.”
“I’m a gay man who grew up in a conservative, religious, and Middle Eastern family. Finding genuine acceptance and community in a residency program was challenging, until I found the Brigham. From the first day of my away rotation, I was surrounded by allies and fellow LGBTQ individuals. On my interview day, my leadership and advocacy in LGBTQ medical organizations and curriculum development was at the forefront of every conversation. I had finally not only found where I could train to be the doctor I hope to be, but also to exist as I truly am."
“As a daughter of immigrants, from a low-income background, I have always been passionate about making a difference in the care of underserved populations; and have always strived to surround myself with people with similar interests. It was also important to me to do my residency where I would feel welcomed and supported. I am grateful to be working with people who I consider family and are equally passionate about improving the care of vulnerable patients.”
“As a female who identifies with many minority groups such as a refugee, an Asian American, and a member of the LGBTQ community, it was important for me to find a diverse and inclusive residency program that would also train me to be excellent anesthesiologist. I found that program here at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Over the past two years at BWH, I have grown both professionally and personally due to the open relationships that I have developed with my colleagues and mentors.”
“After finishing medical school back home (Tehran, Iran), I came to Boston and it has been my new home since then. When I chose BWH anesthesia for residency, I had already completed 3 years of post-doctoral research fellowship and 3 years of pediatric residency. With no doubt, I had a different perspective of an ideal work environment compared to when I graduated from medical school. My topmost priority was a diverse program that strives for inclusiveness and respect for difference, where I can find a balance in how I pursue professional excellence, while remaining true to, and present for, my other identity – being a mother of two. I could have never been happier with my choice and I am very grateful to be part of the BWH anesthesia family.”
For over a century, a leader in patient care, medical education and research, with expertise in virtually every specialty of medicine and surgery.
