AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS FOR:
Clinical/Residency mentorship: As a recent UCLA Psychiatry residency grad (class of 2020) I am happy to talk about any aspects of the residency process - clinical work, moonlighting, life outside of work, applying to fellowship, etc. I am very open and honest and happy to talk bluntly about anything that I could potentially be helpful with!
