I first visited WashU in the spring of 2011 while touring college campuses during my senior year of high school. My counselors at the time told me to choose a school that would allow me to pursue my goal of becoming a physician while also celebrating diversity, innovation, inclusivity, and leadership. WashU not only “checked […]
I first came to WashU as a visiting medical student from Lebanon to complete a rotation in the different anesthesia subspecialties. During that time, I found myself among a great group of residents, who were happy and satisfied with their training. I admired the open and inclusive learning environment, as well as the interaction between […]
Choosing a residency program is always a tough decision. While going through interview season, I remember making a mental checklist of things that were important to me: clinical experience, the nature of the residents with whom I’d be working, dedicated faculty, teaching, fellowship opportunities, research and location, among others. Most importantly, being an international medical […]

First and foremost, I wanted a program that would provide an exceptional educational experience with diverse training and medically complex patients. Secondly, it was important to be in a welcoming environment where I could find supportive individuals both within and […]
I entered the couples match with my fiancé (applying into OBGYN) at the end of medical school after completing a year where we both gave all our savings to Delta in our hunt for the perfect residency. I was scared of ending up somewhere that would not expose me to every type of practice an […]

“I chose St Louis Children’s Hospital to do my pediatric anesthesiology fellowship because I wanted my last year of training to be at a busy transplant center, with robust cardiac rooms, and a nationally recognized pediatric intensive care unit. St Louis Children’s Hospital is a quaternary referral center on Washington University Medical Campus which has provided the support I need to continue my pediatric burn research that I originally started in Texas. Most importantly, it has some of the most experienced, knowledgeable, and nicest pediatric anesthesia staff I have met. Being able to experience tough, challenging cases in a friendly teaching environment was very important to me and SLCH definitely supports this culture.”
I chose the Pediatric Anesthesia fellowship program at St. Louis Children’s Hospital because I knew that it offers a very good mix of clinical and research opportunities. I knew I would be able to train in handling complex cases. I also knew I could develop skills in regional anesthesia, and would learn from the very best faculty and co-fellows.
