Clinical Interests: I ranked CUH high because I had a great first impression of the Endocrine faculty at the interview, and I could see myself working with them and learning from them. Also, Cooper has a good reputation of being one of the best teaching hospitals in the region so I had no doubt about getting a great education here. I like how it is located close to Philadelphia, which provides cultural diversity and vastly different opportunities.

Clinical Interests: I chose Cooper for Endocrinology fellowship because it provides all I was looking for in a training program. Cooper offers a great learning environment with a devoted, engaged, and approachable faculty. The program makes every fellow feel like an essential part of the team, creating a sense of belonging. Cooper offers a diverse caseload and plenty of opportunities to treat underserved communities. All of this makes Cooper a great place to achieve all my career goals while serving those that need it the most.

Clinical Interests: I chose Cooper because even though it is a large hospital, there is still a community aspect to this institution. The Endocrinology physicians and staff are very supportive of all the fellows and take the time to teach each one of us. The academics of this fellowship extend beyond fellows to include residents and even medical students which helps expand our learning. Most importantly, every person I've met during my fellowship so far has been very approachable which I believe is important in a training program.

Clinical Interests: I chose Cooper Endocrinology for its passionate faculty, exceptional learning environment, and diverse patient population. As a vital academic hospital in South Jersey, Cooper encounters a myriad of pathology and challenging cases that are always interesting to discuss amongst peers and mentors. The training at Cooper Provides us with fellow-run clinics, weekly lectures by attending faculty, tumor board meetings, and pituitary conferences-all of which help showcase a multidisciplinary approach to Endocrinology that I look forward to integrating in my practice in the future.
