 This fellowship at the Stoneman Clinic is really the undoubtedly the best fellowship in the world and all of us really want to be here. And what it means to us when we leave is a continued mentorship not only with the staff but also we have a lot of colleagues around the world that we can count on. We all came from great residency programs but there is a whole another level of things you're exposed to here. Initially you know what is extremely intimidating becomes like a wonderful one-on-one experience that you know that you're going to be prepared in the future to you know do similar type things. Being in Val for our family has been great but for our boys it's been a really nice opportunity for them to be exposed to a lot of new activities and adventures and a few of our co-fellows who have been exceptionally close to them coming to birthday parties you know helping me you know pick them up at school and have been really involved with us outside the clinic as well. Mentorship at the Stoneman Clinic is one of the reasons why you come here and when you're on the different rotations you're often just one-on-one in the OR together and in clinic you get a lot of learning time not only in those spaces but also in the lab so it's been a really broad and cumbersome experience with a lot of experts in different fields. There's also a lot of opportunities like working with the Olympic athletes and the US Ski and Snowmour team when I was working with Dr. Hackett covering the Burton US Open helping him sort of triage all that and working in the medical tent was a really unique experience that you're not going to get anywhere else there's just like an unbelievable ability to grow and become a better well-rounded clinician and surgeon while you're here.
