There is rarely a day that goes by that I do not draw from the knowledge and experiences I gained as a Surgical Critical Care Fellow at UIHC. The faculty, APPs, nurses, and fellow trainees are exceptionally supportive of each other and committed to deliver the best possible care to patients. UIHC is the main tertiary center in the State of Iowa, and is the closest major medical center for 1000s of rural residents from surrounding states as well, so the volume and diversity of patients and pathology are unparalleled. The call schedule yields autonomy and offers opportunity for growth and leadership. The Neurocritical Care patient population within the SNICU is unique to most Fellowships. The CVICU training was exceptional as well. The Hawkeye spirit that permeates every facet of life at UIHC sustained me.

From the moment I interviewed at Iowa, I knew it was where I wanted to complete my training in surgical critical care. The name speaks for itself being the esteemed Big Ten institution that it is. However, I truly felt supported from everyone I interacted with, from the phenomenal program coordinator to the approachable, yet highly accomplished faculty as well as inspiring co-fellows. It was a wonderful multi-disciplinary experience in caring for and treating some of the most difficult cases in the state.
