A Chat with Luis Berrocal, MD-PGY-1

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Luis Berrocal, MD PGY-1 at the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary at the University of Illinois at Chicago.    Luis and I discuss his interest in ophthalmology and how he felt the calling to pursue the specialty. He shares what drew him as an applicant to UIC and what he believes applicants should keep in mind when thinking of programs that fit who they are as a person. Luis shares some advice for the upcoming interview season, and we finish off talking about some tennis!   Luis can be reached at [email protected], and you can follow the residents of UIC's ophthalmology residency program at @uiceyeresidents on Instagram.
