Shauneil Schwartz, MD
2nd Year Resident
- University of South Dakota, Sanford School of Medicine
- Why Bismarck: Growing up in Herreid, SD, just south of the North Dakota border, Bismarck was always the city we would go to run our errands for the month. I also spent my undergraduate here at the University of Mary, and so, I became very familiar with the area and the people here. I loved being here for my undergraduate studies and had great learning experiences at both hospitals while working towards my undergraduate degree in Respiratory Therapy. With an interest in rural medicine, I found this residency program to highlight the aspects of family medicine that I found to be truly important including increased time spent on the inpatient hospital service, months of OB and GYN with an option to spend additional time in those rotations on electives, and I liked how we have a dedicated faculty member in the pediatric, dermatology, and OB/GYN specialties that practice through our resident clinic and are available to follow and consult.

- Poznan University of Medical Sciences Center for Medical Education
- Why Bismarck: The program is well organized and allows you to be exposed to all aspects of family medicine, in addition to providing electives to which you could further tailor your training. During my interview, although virtual, I felt a great sense of community amongst the faculty, residents, and staff. Everyone was very open and welcoming and it seemed clear that each faculty member was truly dedicated to teaching. Being in a smaller program, I am able to experience more personalized training and mentorship from faculty members and senior residents. As for the city, the people of Bismarck are very friendly, and it is a great place to live. Perfect for those who love that small-town vibe!

During my interview, although it was virtual, the program tried its best to exhibit the whole picture with the effort of all the faculties and residents, providing a very positive vibe to me. Also, I was always looking forward to coming to a small town to complete my residency training, where everything is close and people are more friendly.
