Why Madison?

“The vibes on interview day really sold me. Everyone seemed genuinely invested in helping their residents grow and improve the program experience. The global health track also aligned perfectly with my interests. And on the lifestyle side, I love how walkable Madison is and that you can bike pretty much anywhere.”
