Personal Statement:
I had the opportunity during my geriatrics fellowship to rotate in the UTSA MICU and see first hand the excellent training the fellows here receive – a great variety of pathology and complex patients, friendly and collegial relationship with co-fellows and faculty.
It’s very quiet and laid back for such a huge city, though everything is spread out there’s always something new to see & explore, very family friendly also.
