Kenesha Kirkland Class of 2009	Why I chose CMC? First of all, the reputation of the program extends beyond the city limits of Charlotte. Being one of the first interviews of the season, honestly, I anticipated on ranking another program as my first. During my interview day, interacting and observing the house staff and faculty changed my mind. Not only is this a top notch hospital that services a wide radius of the population, we have some of the best physician attendings that are truly interested in teaching the residents. Completing my training this year, I feel well prepared to enter into practice as a general practitioner.
Jeremy Parker Class of 2010	The make up of the CMC internal medicine program allows for things university programs would love to do, but simply cannot due to their size. It has provided me with ample opportunity to become a well trained internal medicine physician, but has also prepared me for subspecialty training in Cardiology. I'm thrilled to have been able to call Charlotte home.
Rob Craven Class of 2011	Why I chose CMC: I really liked the smallness of the program. Everyone seemed really happy and enjoyed working together. Plus, the board pass rate was higher than any other program I applied to and they had an exceptional fellowship acceptance rate into very competitive specialties. Charlotte is a great city to be single in. There are many young professionals in the area. It is a large city with a great nightlife, but is also close to many outdoor activities.
Melanie McMinn Class of 2011	One of the most appealing aspects of this program is the friendly and cooperative learning environment. Residents and faculty attendings interact as peers, and we take every available opportunity to teach each other.
Alex Fertman Class of 2012	CMC was my absolute top choice for residency. It is an excellent training program and I couldn't be happier living in Charlotte. Having a smaller residency allows me to work more closely with our attendings on both staff medicine and consult months. The teaching atmosphere here is incredible. I always feel supported no matter what service I am on, and education is a top priority at all times. CMC helps make life easier by offering us many benefits and accommodations which I definitely appreciate. I hope you come and check us out!
Stephan Esser	Preliminary Year Intern 2009-2010, will be continuing training at Harvard-Spaulding Hospital in Boston MA in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. My Intern year at CMC has been amazing. The program maintains a health balance of intensity and collegiality between interns, and upper levels, staff and attendings. From day one, you are treated like a member of the family and whether prelim or categorical, everyone shares in the same responsibilities. Attendings' doors are always open and even the most senior program directors are happy to converse about patients, home-life or the latest sports event. In the midst of this healthy dynamic, you learn and learn and then learn some more. Both zebras and horses come through the doors on a regular basis, so not a day goes by without putting on the thinking cap. The long and short of it is, I can't imagine a better place to spend my first year of training. Thanks CMC!
