Fellow Life
I love this program for so many reasons it's hard to put into words, but first off it's the people. It starts with Dr. Abell, who is one of the most thoughtful program directors I have ever encountered. She really cares about this program and each of the trainees that come through it. The level of detail she puts into her work is just extraordinary, from the cookies she bakes for us through the clinical education she provides. From the moment I came for my interview I knew that this program had a family-feel within the department. I think that's super important for a trainee to have that level of support while being held to the high expectations that come with fellowship.
Our team is a close-knit group. In addition to providing excellent care to patients in upstate New York, we celebrate the achievements of our fellows... and basically have a lot of fun!
