What do you like most about Mac GenSx? I'm so glad to be training at McMaster! I'm getting excellent training for a career in general surgery and I really enjoy hanging out with my co-residents. We support each other, work hard, and get to explore the fun parts of Hamilton (and Niagara!) together.

Fun Fact: I love going to the Royal Botanical Garden on post call days/weekends. So many flowers, so much happiness!
