Having completed residency at Washu/SLCH, I wanted to continue fellowship here for the unique training experience. This program provides all of the perks of a big-name institution, with all the perks of a smaller program class size. WashU/SLCH provides education and exposure to the most critically ill patients/challenging cases ranging from cutting-edge regional techniques to trauma, peri-op experience, fetal EXIT procedures, and more. This program has recruited some of the best physician educators who have trained at numerous different top-name institutions from all across the country, providing a depth of diversity in anesthetic practices. Since the program is smaller in the number of fellows, I have priority for all of the cases, with no competition from other learners. Helpful, polite, and conscientious colleagues within the OR and peri-operative space make for a great work environment, which I enjoy being part of. Here at WashU/SLCH, I do not feel like just another trainee, but rather I feel valued as an integral part of the clinician team.
