You can't learn that working in a residency program. You're raised to be that, it's your personality. A program is not going to change your personality. A program will pick personalities. At Maryland, the different personalities come together to function as a team and grow as individuals.
Residents care about each other.
More importantly, the bonds we formed made the long hours and tough work of residency not only survivable but also downright enjoyable. In the past, Maryland has been very quiet about its strengths. As the word gets out, applications are coming from all over the country. An unfortunate term, perhaps, but accurate. You have to be marketable, because in whatever field you choose, there are a limited number of good spots.
