Like About Children�s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC
So many things! You get to see a little bit of everything, including a very good volume of stuff that would be quite rare or never be seen at other hospitals. The attendings are great teachers and really embrace that role. As someone who is interested in a career in academic medicine, I love how involved the medical students are encouraged to be and the many opportunities to teach as a resident. The people, with very few exceptions, have been friendly, welcoming and very supportive and my co-residents are a truly exceptional group of people who I really enjoy working and learning with.
