Testimonials

“The University of Utah has a fine reputation and allows physicians to craft a job perfect for them. To be able to create a new program and design it exactly the way we wanted has been extraordinary. The Conrad J-1 visa waiver program made this possible. This is my dream job.”
-Dr. John Ryan

“Being part of the community I serve gives me a special relationship with my patients. The sense of community is truly the power and beauty of rural Utah.”
-Dr. Bunot

“I went to school in my late 40s, so I also have to think of retirement,” Foster said. “This grant [Health Care Workforce Financial Assistance Program] has allowed me to pay off a substantial amount of my debt so that I can focus on my practice and my future retirement.”
-Danette Foster
