“I was fortunate to train at Wash U/St. Louis Children’s Hospital for residency. The delightful and welcoming environment drew me to pediatric anesthesiology. I had an open mind in terms of fellowship location during CA 2 year. After a half dozen of interviews from coast to coast, I decided to choose WashU again for my pediatric fellowship. I had no doubt it would provide excellent training in terms of caseload, complexity, and research opportunities. In addition to a well-balanced curriculum, what made WashU stand out for me was its dedication to fostering a culture for learning and camaraderie. Six months into fellowship, I truly feel at home. The department’s quick response to our feedback and needs for both professional and personal growth is evident. Coming from Seattle, I have loved living in St. Louis for the past 4 and a half years. It has the convenience that is typical for a smaller city, but at the same time has plenty to offer. I remember being initially surprised by my easy commute, affordable housing, great food, and fun cultural scene. Also, being situated in the Midwest means it is not too far from anywhere! Being a traveler at heart outside medicine, my husband and I have been able to visit 15 countries and many midwestern states during residency and fellowship. I consider myself lucky to have found a place that offers superb training and allows me to pursue my personal passions.”
