From Kolkata to Chicago: The ACR-IRA International Exchange Program

Going Home

On a personal note, the faculty members and the fellows in the University of Chicago Department of Rheumatology were extremely friendly and supportive. They never let me feel the absence of my family over the month’s duration. Whenever I needed anything, the entire department was there, planning it out for me. As I come back to India, I bring with me a fulfilling experience that will help me be a better physician. But more so, I bring with me memories that will last a lifetime.

Debanjali Sinha, MD, is a rheumatologist in practice in Kolkata, India.
