[Panoramic video capturing the Wexner Medical Center and its buildings] Megan Hirshbeck, M.D.: Hi, guys. My name is Megan Hirschbeck, and I'm one of the CA1s here at Ohio State. [Megan Hirsenbeck sitting in a conference room with her scrub cap and lab coat on] When I was on the interview trail, Ohio State stood out to me for two reasons. Number one is the excellent clinical training we receive, and number two, and nearly equally important, is the people that you'll meet here. [Text on screen Megan Hirschbeck, M.D. CA1 Anesthosiology Resident] I came from a very close-knit med school class, and when I was on the interview trail, I specifically was looking for a program that offered that same type of collegial and familial atmosphere. And I can definitely say that I found that here at Ohio State. [Panoramic video capturing a wide view of the James Center Hospital and Solove Research Institute] Geoffery Thomas, M.D.: Hey, I'm Geoff Thomas. [Geoffrey Thomas sitting in a conference room with his lab coat and scrub cap on] I like pizza and board games when I'm not here at Ohio State doing anesthesiology, and I'm a CA1 resident, I've been asked to talk a little bit about why I picked Ohio State and what it's been like going to med school at Ohio State and transitioning to a resident here at Ohio State. [Text on screen Geoffrey Thomas, M.D. CA1 Anesthesiology Resident] [Panoramic video of a lecture hall at the Ohio State Medical School] [Video pans back to Geoffery Thomas with his scrub cap on] I think one of the biggest things that stands out, that makes OSU special, is the people here. And I think a lot of programs will say that, but OSU really has something special. A lot of the attendings and faculty go out of the way to teach and make sure that you're understanding concepts, and that really comes through with your abilities later. [Video showing a group of people in scrubs sitting around a large table watching a presentation in a conference room] One example of that is during my intern year here. [Video pans back to solo shot of Geoffrey Thomas in conference room] Those of you that do a categorical year here, you'll notice that we get you involved in procedures really early on. And by the end of my intern year, I had multiple internal medicine faculty come up to me and compliment me on how great my procedural skills were and how it was just light years ahead of what some of the other internal medicine residents were at. [Video showing an organized, high-tech medical workspace with multiple monitors, equipment, and supplies] [Video pans back to Geoffery Thomas] So it's a really strong program technically, and I think that's another thing that kind of makes Ohio State special as well, is we're a big academic center, you can get super nerdy and involved in research here, and we love that. But I think we're also a really down-to-earth, focused-on getting you ready to be an anesthesiologist. [Video showing an anesthesiologist at work in an operating room] Nathan Marshall, M.D.: Hi, I'm Nathan Marshall. I'm one of the CA2s here at OSU Wexner Medical Center. [Nathan Marshall sitting in a conference room with his scrub cap and lab coat on] [Text on screen Nathan Marshall, M.D. CA2 Anesthesiology Resident] So far, my favorite part of residency has been my experience over at OSU East, where we get a good introduction to regional anesthesia. My time over there, again, we get a large volume of blocks, pretty much every kind of block there is, including kind of more of the forefront of blocks: things like IPACS and PING blocks, things that a lot of places aren't doing quite yet. [Video showing three doctors working together to perform a procedure on a leg. Video shows high-tech medical equipment being used] [Video pans back to solo shot of Nathan Marshall in conference room] The attendings that you work with over there are all very happy to teach and very interactive, and again, just very friendly to work with as well. [Video showing a room full of high tech equipment and screens] Jeffery Yu, M.D.: Hi, I'm Jeff, I'm one of the CA3 anesthesiology residents at the Ohio State University. [Jeffery Yu sitting in a conference room with his lab coat on] [Text on screen Jeffery Yu, M.D. CA3 Anesthesiology Resident] I feel that Ohio State University's anesthesiology program is very robust and prepares us very well for the real world. We get to work in state-of-the-art ORs, taking care of very complex, medically complex patients with complex anesthetic plans. We often have to do multiple procedures on these patients and learn all sorts of multimodal anesthesia techniques, including regional, neuraxial, multimodal drug management, and postoperative pain techniques. [Video showing an organized, high-tech medical operating room with multiple monitors, equipment, and supplies] We are able to see every single subspecialty of anesthesiology that there is to offer, including neuro, chronic pain, cardiac, critical care, OB, regional, everything you can think of, we have here. [Video pans back to solo shot of Jeffery Yu in conference room] [Video showing a view of the hall way] Bethany Potere, M.D.: Hi, my name is Bethany, I'm one of the CA2s here at Ohio State. [Bethany Potere sitting in a conference room with her scrub cap and lab coat on] [Text on screen Bethany Potere, M.D. CA2 Anesthesiology Resident] In the cardiac ORs and ICU, we take care of a gamut of patients, all very complex. We spend time both in the OR and in the ICU, taking care of run-of-the-mill cabbages and valves, all the way up to things like ECMO, VADs, and balloon pumps. [Video showing the hallway of the ICU, an ICU room with a bed, medical equipment, a desk, and a window visible] We like to see patients in the OR and then transition them to the ICU and take part in the multidisciplinary team approach. This allows us to see the care of these patients from start to finish and watch our procedural skills grow as they transition from the OR to the ICU. [Video showing an office space in the middle of patient rooms within a medical center, with desks and computers shown] [Video pans back the Bethany Potere] Colin Garner, M.D.: Hi, my name is Colin, I'm a CA2. [Colin Garner sitting in a conference room with his white coat on] [Text on screen Colin Garner, M.D. CA2 Anesthesiology Resident] For our OB rotation, one of the great parts is the clinical volume, the exceptional procedural skills that you develop during this rotation, and the didactics that you receive almost on a daily basis. [Video showing an anesthesiologist at work in an operating room] [Video pans back to Colin Garner] Our faculty, on the OB floor, is very hands-on in teaching you great practical skills that will prepare you as an attending. [Video showing a medical setting where staff in scrubs are preparing for a procedure around a patient on a hospital bed with various medical equipment being used.

[Video pans back to solo shot of Jeffery Yu in conference room] I think that OSU has prepared me really well to take on these roles as a fellow because we have a very robust ICU experience. We do five months as a resident, possibly more if you're interested in doing an extra elective. We have really great critical care faculty as well as cardiac faculty, and I really learned a lot from both the robust amount of cases and the diverse pathology, as well as taking on roles in managing ECMO, VADs, balloon pumps, and all kinds of extracorporeal life support systems. And as a result of this, I feel very comfortable taking care of incredibly sick patients, and I think this will serve me very well in my future role as a fellow. [Video pans back to Jeffery Yu in his white coat] Alix Zuleta Alarcon, M.D.: Hey, guys, I'm Alix Zuleta, I'm one of the CA3s. [Alix Zuleta sitting in a conference room with her white coat on] [Text on screen Alix Zuleta Alarcon, M.D. CA3 Anesthesiology Resident] One of the reasons that I selected Ohio State for residency was because I knew that I was going to be exposed to very high sick patients and very complex cases. And that's something that I have seen in all these four years of residency. [Video of a person putting away various medical materials into a supply closet] I feel that I have been exposed to very complex cases, like aortic dissections, heart transplant, lung transplant, liver transplants, and multiple other new cases that continue to trend in medicine, from minimally invasive procedures to super invasive ones that require multiple lines and super detailed management. I feel that I have been able to do all those procedures that are very challenging and that are very motivating, learning every day from very smart mentors and people. [Video of a team of doctors working together on a patient in an operating room.] [Video pans back to Alix Zuleta Alarcon] [Video of a doctor in a room with high tech equipment. Video pans to Brutus, the Ohio State mascot.] I have been so pleasantly surprised by my residency program that I actually decided to stay for fellowship here at Ohio State. While I was discussing other programs for fellowship, I was assessing the volume and the amount of cases that I was going to get to do, and I learned that Ohio State has more than 30 heart transplants a year, more than 50 lung transplants, and more than 170 liver transplants, which is a great experience that you can get here in central Ohio. [Video pans back to Alix Zuleta Alarcon] We, in our institution, we have more than eight different fellowship programs, and I think that, in addition to benefiting me in the cardiac position, it allows to every one of my classmates and future classmates to be exposed to being trained by experts in the fields, and also to make multiple connections that are going to allow them to either go for their fellowship if they decide to go for it, or apply those skills that they learn from the best in their future anesthesia clinical practice. Brendan Sheehy, M.D.: Hi, I'm Brendan Sheehy, one of the CA3 anesthesiology residents here at Ohio State. [Brendan Sheehy sitting in a conference room with his white coat on] [Text on screen Brendan Sheehy, M.D. CA3 Anesthesiology Resident] I believe Ohio State has prepared me well for my future job because of a robust clinical experience, leadership opportunities, and mentorship opportunities. [Video of a doctor performing an ultrasound] Specifically, the first two years of training, we get advanced training, complex anesthetic cases, as well as a lot of procedural skills. [Video pans back to Brendan Sheehy] I believe in the third year, we get to put all that together, and we have opportunities to teach other residents and supervise, as well as really run the ORS and develop management skills throughout the CA3 year. [Video of three doctors working together in preparation for a patient] [Video pans back to solo shot of Brendan Sheehy in conference room] I think all this will translate very well to my future clinical practice.
