The level of cross-training and collegiality is unmatched. From the moment I interviewed I realized there is an incredible amount of collaboration. The critical care services all get along including neurology, surgery, anesthesia, and medical critical care. Everyone is here to take the best possible care of their patients and there is constant cross-training and interdisciplinary management of critical illness.
The faculty is by far some of the best I've worked with. They are approachable and knowledgeable. You are treated as a colleague from the moment you start and instantly integrated into the team.”
