The personal and professional experiences that I will encounter in this residency will provide even more value in addition to a master’s degree. I will use these experiences in my future provider role. I think that enhancing my skillsets in an educational program will be more beneficial to me than learning as I go independently without this hands-on residency program. I can learn more in a shorter amount of time from this program and feel even more prepared to provide care to the vulnerable pediatric population.
