Colleen Waickman, MD: Hi, my name is Colleen. I'm a first-year resident here at the Ohio State 
Psychiatry Residency. I grew up in Akron, Ohio, and I went to medical school here at Ohio 
State, where I decided to stay.

Bryce Toburen, MD: And I'm Bryce Toburen, I'm a first-year year as well within the residency 
here for psychiatry, and I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Went to a medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and I'm excited to be here at 
Ohio State. So, we just want to take a few moments to kind of just talk to you about the 
reasons that we came here.

So, Colleen, you wanna start us off?

Colleen Waickman, MD: Yeah, I was excited to find out that I wanted to be a psychiatrist on 
my third-year psychiatry rotation on the Psychiatry Consult Service. And I just loved the 
medical and psychiatric complexity that we got to explore on the Psych Consult Service. 
There's amazing teaching on the service, and the mentors that I got to meet through that 
rotation are amazing.

So that got me really interested in psychiatry, and I also found that I was very interested 
in child and adolescent psychiatry, and have found amazing mentors here at Ohio State in 
child and adolescent psychiatry as well. I have been so impressed by the investment that 
our attendings have in our education and our professional development.

And I felt so welcomed here by not only the attendings, but also the residents. We have 
amazing out here.
>> Bryce Toburen, MD: Yeah, so kinda just going off of that, I've really enjoyed our intern 
class. I couldn't have asked for anything better than my colleagues. But kind of just echoing 
what Colleen was saying, just the amount of support that the administration and all the 
attendings that you work with give you on a daily basis is just phenomenal.

For example, the second-year resident that I'm working with was specifically put on a 
rotation with me because she came to the administration, said that she has an interest in 
education. And so that just shows that they're willing to put individualized learning plans 
in action to make sure that you get out of the residency exactly what you want to get out of 
it, and also the collegiality.

The resident room is truly a special place. When I saw the atmosphere that they have in there, 
it really kind of sold me and really showed me that there really is a good work-life balance, 
and everyone got along together incredibly well. And I'm interested in working with young 
adults, so college-age students.

So, being at a large undergrad university like Ohio State really gives me the ability to 
have the opportunities to explore that in the outpatient realm in my third year. So, there 
are all sorts of opportunities just waiting for you at the Ohio State University. So we look 
forward to meeting you soon.
