Why did you choose WVU?
My husband and I are both from small town southwestern Pennsylvania. After spending four years in Philadelphia, we were both looking forward to a chance to move out of the city. WVU gave us just that as well as an opportunity to be back close to friends and family.  Additionally, the tight knit, supportive culture within the EM department is exactly what I was hoping to find in a residency program.
