 Hi, I'm Nan Garber. I'm the program director of Pediatric Critical Care at the University of Maryland Medical Center. I came to Maryland about 15 years ago just out of fellowship as a new grad. And what brought me here really was the camaraderie that I felt among the attending staff and the relationship between the faculty and the fellows. And that is actually holds true even to today. I think it's one of our best assets. I also came to Maryland looking for a combined program with both cardiac surgical patients and general PICU in a combined unit because I feel like it brings us diversity and acuity every day. And not only do I think that that is good for me because I like that setup, but I think it brings a lot of great education to our team and to our fellows. And thirdly, I came to Baltimore because of Baltimore. It's a city with a population in need, which I think brings an exceptional opportunity to us as health care providers to give back to a community and to help the people of our city. And additionally, it brings a lot of variability in lifestyles that you can live here and a lot of accessibility both domestically and internationally. So if you have some time off, it's really great for travel. I became program director just over ten years ago, and I love it. I love it today, and I loved it then. I love working closely with the fellows, being committed to their education and getting to know them both as people and as doctors. And I feel totally committed to creating a supportive environment for the fellows learning. I hope they know, and I hope that you will see that their voices are heard and that their feedback is wanted and that we use that a lot in trying to creatively make the program better and better each year. Hi, my name is Repel Patel. I'm a second year of critical care fellow here at the University of Maryland. I chose the University of Maryland because of my interaction with the attendings and fellows on the day that I interviewed here. The attendings come from various backgrounds, and it helps give insight into the different aspects of critical care, from specialties such as global health, safety, quality improvement, ECMO. And I thought it was very vital for my education to get those different perspectives. The fellows were super welcoming, inviting, down to earth, easy to talk to. When you're spending three years at a program, I think it's really important to be with people that care about you and that want to see you succeed. Additionally, the program has a very diverse patient population from different cultural backgrounds, different socioeconomic statuses, and different disease processes. I would say after a year of being here, I am so glad that I am at the University of Maryland and that I've matched here. Both the faculty and staff and the fellows want to see you succeed professionally and personally, and I really value that in this program. My name is Claudine Brown, and I'm a critical care fellow at the University of Maryland Medical Center. So critical care is daunting, and it was overwhelming coming from residency, trying to navigate the world of critical care and a career where I'd be dealing with the sickest of the sickest children. And when looking for a fellowship, I was looking for somewhere where I could feel at home and where I could feel a family atmosphere, and the University of Maryland gave me that feeling. I love the fact that I'm in a mixed unit where on a day-to-day basis, I am coming into contact with children with varying pathologies, whether it be congenital heart disease or your bronchiolitis, we see it all. And you have a one-on-one interaction with all the attendings who are so supportive, who are always there if you have a question or if you have none. But also give you the autonomy so I can flourish as a growing attending. Also, I love the fact that I am in a state and in a city where in 15 minutes I can be in the woods or I can be in Washington, D.C. in 30. Baltimore has the best of both worlds, and on your days off, there's lots to do and lots of new people and new friends to do it with.
