Quotes from Graduates About the Anesthesiology Residency Program
One of the most important aspects of a residency program is the tone and quality of the faculty-resident interaction. At UTHSC, the camaraderie between residents and staff is excellent. The staff members are very approachable, knowledgeable, and friendly. They remember what it is like to be a resident and they treat you as a peer who is still learning.
Jeff Blalack, MD, Program Graduate
Seldom do I see anything now which I haven't seen before. I feel like my training has exposed me to everything. It's a very confident feeling.
