Why you chose CMC: I knew CMC was the place for me after completing my AI! Everyone was so welcoming and kind. It was clear that the faculty were passionate about teaching and were supportive of the residents. I love that we have so many resources and support services that allow us to provide the best possible care to the diverse community that CMC serves. Plus, it was clear from my AI and the pre-interview social that all the residents genuinely enjoyed spending time with each other, making the effort to see each other even after long shifts.
What you love about living in/moving to Charlotte: I love how green the city is! As someone who spent most of their life living in small towns, Charlotte is unique in that it has all the great things a city has to offer, while also providing several opportunities to get away from the big city life. There are so many outdoor activities to participate in. Whether you like running, walking your dogs, biking, hiking, or exploring new restaurants, there is something for you that is usually just a short drive or a walk away.
What you see yourself doing in 10 years: I am still trying to figure that out, but I will probably be practicing community emergency medicine; hopefully, somewhere in North Carolina. I also foresee myself having some administrative/leadership role, whether that be in the hospital or the community.

Why you chose CMC: I wanted to train within a program that has a diverse clinical experience that would make me an excellent clinician who thinks critically and comprehensively about the patient at a physical, emotional, and social level. That is what CMC is about. After residency, I want to have been exposed to as many different presentations of illness as possible and again, I knew that CMC would excel with that. Our hospital is a tertiary care center with a large catchment area, but we also have a community feel. This clinically translates to seeing a large range of patients, those who have several specialists driving their care to the classic bread and butter EM cases. Personally, the fact that CMC is a Level I Adult/Pediatric Trauma center, has increased ICU requirements for its residents and continuous/longitudinal pediatric emergency medicine were all highlights of the program that stood out to me in the way in the way they were implemented. Most importantly, I wanted to train within a program that was supportive of each other in and out of the hospital and I could not have asked for a better cohort of people to learn from, grow with, and spend long hours with. Since my first rotation here, it was easy to see how well people got a long and how cohesive the residents here were, and I wanted to be a part of that! It genuinely feels like one big family; the faculty, the staff, my co-residents and importantly the rest of the patient care team are all united in providing the best patient care possible and growing together. I love our patients, my co-residents are inspiring, and I am excited for these next three years!
What you love about living in/moving to Charlotte: Getting to live with my fiancé again! But also access to any sort of activity that I could ask for: good basketball, sporting events, music events, trails to explore with our dog, and good food. I like to spend my time outside and although Charlotte is a city, it’s easy to find open space close to and around the area.
What you see yourself doing in 10 years: Undifferentiated! I can see myself doing a critical care fellowship and then figuring out how to staff an ICU but also stay in the ED (logistically will be challenging to do both). I can also see myself working at a critical access hospital, but I am also open to exploring a community/academics hybrid because I will want to be around other learners in some capacity.

Armand Tadjali
Hometown: Southlake, TX
College: University of Southern California
Medical school: Texas A&M College of Medicine
Why you chose CMC: Coming from Texas A&M, I was exposed to numerous faculty who had trained at Carolinas and they described it as the perfect place for somebody who didn't mind hard work and wanted to be pushed.
What you love about living in/moving to Charlotte: The city has so many options for things to do on a night off and can be surprisingly walkable depending on where you live!
What you see yourself doing in 10 years: I have an interest in administration, currently, and would like to pursue something along those lines. A lot can change in 3 years of residency though!

Medical school: Medical University of South Carolina
Why you chose CMC: I felt so at ease and welcome on my interview day! Everyone was truly so impressive, yet so humble. I knew I would be challenged here and trained to be able to handle anything in the future. Additionally, the mentorship opportunities here are endless, and I know I will be able to develop my academic interests within EM. When I came for the second look, I instantly knew this was the right program for me. The comradery and engagement from the residents and faculty was so apparent and I knew I found my family!
What you love about living in/moving to Charlotte: I absolutely love the access to so many outdoor activities. Between the greenway right in my backyard, the White Water Center, and the beach and mountains within a few hours away, I can get plenty of fresh air and exercise. There are also endless breweries and restaurants that I can't wait to continue working my way through.
What you see yourself doing in 10 years: The big question now is fellowship vs going straight into practice. I'm obviously hoping to determine that in the next year or so, but overall, I would LOVE to work in academics. I'm very passionate about teaching and could see myself being a clerkship director for medical students or even involved in residency leadership one day. Outside of work, I'd love to be traveling the world and being near family and friends.

Ellie Wallace
Hometown: Richmond, VA
College: UNC Chapel Hill
Medical school: Medical University of South Carolina
Why you chose CMC: I rotated here as an M4 and was immediately sold by the culture and the people. I love the supportive atmosphere and that the residents are each other's support systems in and out of the hospital. I had so much personal growth during my one month here, I knew it would make me into the physician I wanted to be after three years of residency.
What you love about living in/moving to Charlotte: Nice people, great restaurants, all my favorite brands of workout classes, plenty of outdoor activities, and easy to get around to maximize time off!
What you see yourself doing in 10 years: Raising a family with my (almost) husband Charlie and working in an emergency medicine setting where I'm regularly interacting with learners. TBD on my specific niche or any fellowship training!
