🩺✨ Chief Resident Spotlight: Esther Yoo ✨🩺
Meet Esther, one of our Chief Residents in Anesthesiology! A graduate of SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, Esther loves caring for patients at one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives, helping them feel safe and comfortable heading into surgery 💙
A few things we love about Esther:
🎓 Med school: SUNY Downstate College of Medicine
🫁 Favorite rotation: the ICU, for the complexity of critical illness and the chance to follow patients and their families over time
💬 Her advice to new interns & residents: “Take every opportunity to learn, ask questions, and remember the people you’re working with. Those relationships will get you through the harder days.”
🫀 What’s next: staying at Montefiore for a Critical Care Medicine fellowship, followed by a Cardiac Anesthesiology fellowship!
🐱 Off the clock: reading, playing the piano, long walks, and lounging at home with her two cats
Congratulations, Esther, and thank you for everything you do for our program!
