Winding Down the Interview Season

Today was our last group of interviewees for the anesthesia class starting in 2015. It's fun and fascinating talking to these prospective residents. Ebullient with ideas, excitement, and enthusiasm, they remind me of how I was four years ago. Residency is a hard and exhausting journey, and it's easy to forget all those awesome and occasionally-naive ideas about how we want to change the world. Meeting the incredibly accomplished applicants makes me optimistic about the future of anesthesia and hopefully our department. It's interesting to think of how this cycle of graduating and incoming residents will continue indefinitely and fun to meet the future of anesthesia.
