0:00-0:08 A lot of here is a special place because it serves a large, underserved community that really 0:08-0:13 depends upon us as the major academic medical center in this borough of the Bronx. 0:13-0:19 And we serve an extraordinarily large cashmere of beyond the Bronx that depends upon us 0:19-0:24 or superior care in the context of a university medical center. 0:24-0:29 This is a wonderful place to work and it's a place where the work is consistent with 0:29-0:31 the social mission that is very valuable.

0:00-0:03 To be a good resident here, you have to be willing to work hard 0:03-0:07 and also willing to learn in any and every situation. 0:07-0:12 And I think there's so much to learn here, whether it's in the clinic, on the inpatient floors, 0:12-0:15 residents get to do a lot. So all that hands-on experience is going to serve you well, 0:15-0:22 so that no matter where you go, there's nothing that's going to phase you because you've 0:22-0:24 already been there, done that, seen it in our program.

0:00-0:06 They were very engaged with teaching, super eager to ask me about myself, to learn about me, 0:06-0:11 and even just, you know, connect with me, and that really sent a strong message to me. 0:11-0:15 Then the residents themselves, I mean, everyone here really supports each other. 0:15-0:20 We're very close to it. We love spending time with each other in the hospital and outside. 0:20-0:25 I love being here. This is fun for me, and that really makes it a pleasure to show up every day.

0:00-0:06 I think what makes this program particularly special is that we are very skilled surgeons 0:06-0:08 as a whole when we leave. 0:08-0:12 And that's not just surgically a lot of it has to do with how to manage extremely sick 0:12-0:14 patients with very complex social issues. 0:14-0:20 We have such a special diverse population and learning how to interact and truly optimize 0:20-0:25 their care is something that we wholeheartedly come away from this program with knowing how to do.

0:00-0:06 We have great people, great experiences here, great patients that are incredibly grateful 0:06-0:10 for the care that we provide. If you feel like that's something you're interested in, then this is the program for you.

0:00-0:08 I would put our faculty up against any other faculty in New York in the country, I think that 0:08-0:14 we've got excellent fellowship-trained physicians. The bigger part is that they love to teach. 0:14-0:21 And you can just you can learn a lot by watching, but learning from somebody that is invested 0:21-0:27 in teaching you is incredibly incredibly nurturing, and you feel like that's how you can build 0:27-0:34 a solid foundation. I think that if you want to learn from faculty that are as invested in your future as you are, you come here.

0:00-0:02 I think that people definitely are great here. 0:02-0:04 I can't speak to other places, but I think we have some of the best around. 0:04-0:06 They do a great job really giving you the chance to grow, 0:06-0:09 understanding where you're at, what you need to do to reach the next step. 0:09-0:11 We get amazing experience in the OR, a lot of autonomy. 0:11-0:13 We take really good care of our patients and our providers really care. 0:13-0:16 At the end of the day, you know, this is an extension of our family. 0:16-0:18 I mean, we take care of each other, we take care of our patients, 0:18-0:21 and we really feel like every day we come to work and we grow.

0:00-0:03 It's past five, four years so far, five years what I'm done with this. 0:03-0:07 They're gonna change who I am as a person and as a surgeon. 0:07-0:09 And it's taught, you know, your taught resilience, 0:09-0:12 your taught, so many incredible skills about communication, patience. 0:12-0:16 And you don't see that. That's not really carried forward. 0:16-0:18 And you don't really look at a surgeon's growth when you're watching television, 0:18-0:21 but it's incredible to see in myself and to watch my peers.
