"I received exceptional training at the University of Rochester.  The training program is well balanced providing experience in all major areas of critical care: neuro, surgical, trauma, medical, and cardiac ICU’s, in both community and tertiary centers.  I felt very well prepared to move into any clinical setting after completing the program.  But what made my experience most remarkable was the people.  Everyone, the faculty and the staff are are so friendly, accessible and kind.  They have tremendous expertise and are excellent teachers.  They supported me pursuing multiple academic projects of interest to me, even when we had to develop it from scratch.  I really enjoyed my time at Rochester and recommend it to anyone looking to pursue clinical and academic excellence in anesthesia and critical care."
