Why Ochsner?
When interviewing for residency, not many programs demonstrated such a strong level of camaraderie and support between the residency classes. Only after starting my training here did I realize that this extended to the staff as well. Not only are they excellent mentors in the OR, they respect us as peers and are easily considered friends. Social events, children’s birthday parties, etc., it would not be uncommon to see a few staff invited with their families. It’s this inclusive and collegial atmosphere that I most appreciate about our program. – Jeffrey Cardinale, Residency Class of 2019
After changing specialties from surgery to anesthesia, I could not have found a better program to join. I was warmly welcomed to the group, and instantly knew I had made the right decision. Ochsner offers such a uniquely challenging training program with an incredibly supportive environment. The staff are passionate about teaching us and sharing their experiences, making all of us feel we will be prepared for whatever challenges come our way post residency. – Marisa Pappas, Residency Class of 2020
As a 4th-year medical student, my goal was to find a residency program that would challenge me clinically while allowing me to maintain a work life balance. After doing an away rotation at Ochsner I realized the residents were on par with and usually exceeded other top programs in the region. Not only was I impressed by their clinical capabilities, but also by the camaraderie in the program. I had a fantastic residency experience and decided to continue my education at Ochsner as the Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Fellow and am fortunate enough to remain as staff. In my opinion you will be hard pressed to find a program that prepares you as well as Ochsner for fellowship and your career. – Jay Trusheim, Residency Class of 2017
