Why did you choose the University of Utah to pursue your doctoral degree?

"I chose the University of Utah for graduate study because of the unique opportunity to study in an interdisciplinary, gerontology-focused PhD program in a Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence. Cementing my decision was the deep respect I have for the many University of Utah College of Nursing faculty members with whom I have worked over the past decade."
