for Me<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>As I took inventory of what I had here in Omaha (this is where I did\u00a0 my residency), no other program could beat the quality of training that I knew I would receive\u00a0while also providing the\u00a0quality of life that my family enjoys.\u00a0 While I get to work and learn from\u00a0national experts in many common diseases (just review some of the IDSA\u00a0guidelines), my daughter gets free cello lessons, takes ballet class, is going to a dual language elementary school and is one of 15 kids under the age of ten that I can hit from my porch with a football (we have an amazing neighborhood!).\u00a0 I received\u00a0the kind of mentorship from the ID staff as a resident\u00a0that all residents should receive, but unfortunately don&#8217;t.\u00a0\u00a0I know that type of attention and guidance will continue throughout\u00a0my fellowship.<\/p>\n<p>The program is extensive with mature divisions in general ID, oncology, transplant and\u00a0HIV, in addition to other areas of accomplished\u00a0specialization in orthopedics, bio-containment and\u00a0\u00a0my favorite area, antimicrobial stewardship (apologies to anyone I left out).<\/p>\n<p>I think this is usually the case\u00a0for ID staff anywhere, but it is true here as well.\u00a0\u00a0ID physicians are some of the happiest and most passionate doctors\u00a0you will find and I knew that I would be working with those kind of people\u00a0if I stayed here.<\/p>\n<p>I could really just go on and on, Warren Buffet is my neighbor, the hospital is 5 minutes from my house, the hospital itself runs well, there are a ton of good restaurants, the college world series is a ton of fun.\u00a0 Simply put, anyone that sees this program will find depth, maturity,\u00a0quality and kindness in the\u00a0division of infectious diseases.<\/p>\n<p><em>Content from Dr. McCreery.<\/em><\/p>\n<form name=\"s2form\" method=\"post\"
