Aspiring medical professionals must go through a long and arduous process before they are given the authority to go out and practice on their own. In an effort to ensure that the doctors are truly competent in every area of their specialty, doctors like Farrukh Chaudhry are required to go through a residency period, in which they work in a hospital as assistants to the certified physicians who are employed therein. It is well known that residency is one of the most difficult times of a doctor's educational process. Residents keep grueling hours and are expected to be at their best every moment of their day.

Farrukh Chaudhry has recently completed his residency in the Neurology department at Loyola. As a resident at Loyola, Farrukh Chaudhry was able to observe and assist some of the finest doctors in the world, individuals who have pioneered the field of neurology and helped move it along to where it stands today. The magnitude of the opportunity to learn from such brilliant doctors is not lost on Farrukh Chaudhry, who says that he is well aware of the benefits of his situation. “Being able to complete my residency here at Loyola has truly been one of the most beneficial experiences of my life. The doctors here are simply phenomenal, and I have learned an incredible amount by working with them.”

The physicians at Loyola have been pleased with the quality of work Farrukh Chaudhry has produced, and have encouraged Farrukh Chaudhry as times got tough during the residency period. Farrukh Chaudhry was constantly reminded both of the reward at the end of his residency and the high price of errors in his chosen field.

As the residency concluded, Farrukh Chaudhry eagerly awaited the opportunity to move on into full-fledged medical practice. Farrukh Chaudhry is confident that the education he received, coupled with the experiences gained during his residency, will be more than enough to prepare him for a career as a neurologist. Farrukh Chaudhry intends to continue improving his talents as a doctor, and plans to keep in touch with his mentors from Loyola as his career takes off.
