Januka Gaire, MBBS, MD

I chose SIU because, during the interview and meet and greet sessions, I was impressed by the friendliness and motivation of the faculty members and residents, which left me with very positive vibes about the program. The opportunity to engage in research further solidified my decision, as it with my passion, academic interests, and career goals. Additionally, SIU's reputation for being IMG-friendly and diverse made it clear that this institution is exactly what I was looking for in terms of personal and professional growth in a supportive environment.
