“LUCENT allowed me to tailor my electives in a way few other programs would allow, building niche skills that helped me on the job market and in practice. My LUCENT mentorship was invaluable, and joining off-site clinics and seeing alternative clinic structures and patient populations informed what I looked for in a job after graduation.” – Julia N., Class of 2021
“Through the women’s health track I got to work in several clinics that I otherwise would not have been exposed to, and there was flexibility so I could choose to work certain providers again if I wanted to learn more. Thanks to the track I was also able to get signed off on Nexplanon and IUD insertions/removals before the end of residency which is important to my current work.” – Rachel F., Class of 2022

“My research experience at UChicago has been abundant in both the quantity and quality of opportunities for collaboration and production of meaningful literature to impact patients with hematologic malignancies. My mentors have encouraged me to develop a greater sense of ingenuity, curiosity, and determination to create and implement the skills needed for a lifelong career as an academic clinician.” – Hannah J., Class of 2024
