I couldn’t have picked a more nurturing and supportive program.Īs mentioned above, I am interested in cardiothoracic anesthesia, but not planning on pursuing a fellowship. My co-residents, likewise, have had my back and helped in any way they can since my return. I was told to focus on my recovery and that they would accommodate my needs and always have a spot for me if I needed more time off. Initially, I was really worried about how that would affect my residency training, but thankfully, this program treats your well-being and health above all else. In the beginning of my intern year, I had to take a six-month unexpected medical leave.
The genuine camaraderie/support amongst the residents was another major reason that makes this program so special. The attendings were engaged in teaching, very approachable, and provide enormous autonomy to the residents. Within the first 2 weeks, I knew this program was the one. So many reasons! UofL was my only away rotation as a 4th year medical student as my then boyfriend (now hubby) was already a resident physician here, so it was important for me to see if I could see myself here for the next 4 years.
