Hi! This is really awesome! Congrats on the new program.
My fiance is graduating med school next month and he wants to be a psychiatrist more than anything else. He, unfortunately, did not get a spot in the match in March and I think he would LOVE to know about this opportunity. I forwarded this information to him.

edit: He already sent you all the application documents. His last name is Velez.

Dr. Wirjo, I just emailed you my application (the email you provided above) and would be honored to be considered for the PGY-1 psychiatry residency position. I graduated from a U.S. medical school in May of 2018 (I am an American Medical Graduate) and I am very ready and eager to start residency this upcoming July! I have very close family in Las Vegas, NV and have strong ties to that area.

Very respectfully,
Michelle Jaehning, M.D.
