What are your favorite things about the fellowship?
The experience in the MICU! We are treated as peers by the attendings as we take care of the sickest patients in the hospital. The MICU is a special place where there is an engrained culture of respect and collaboration between the doctors, nurses, RTs and administration that doesn't exist anywhere else in the hospital.  It's truly a joy to come to work every day!

Spending time with friends and family, relaxing in the park and visiting the Met.

I love having the opportunity to lead rounds in the ICU. We are given a ton of autonomy from our amazing attendings to make decisions and do bedside teaching, but never without the support we need for our level of training.
What do you love about New York City? 
The food! You barely need to leave your own neighborhood to have access to all of your favorites.

I enjoy cooking (I make a mean homemade pasta), playing music (guitar, bass, mandolin) and watching terrible reality tv with my wife.

What do you love about New York City? 
Exploring all of the neighborhoods, specifically the food! There’s always something to do and there’s no where else in the world with the amount of variety when it comes to the different neighborhoods. You can travel to a whole other world after a quick subway ride. 
What do you like to do outside of work?
Mastering the New York Times games, relaxing in Central Park, and watching a ton of different movies (just missed the Tribeca film festival this year!)
