Name:<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>Janie Goodson, MD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hometown:<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>Saint Paul, Minnesota<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title and department at UNMC:<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>Resident physician, UNMC Department of Anesthesiology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education: <\/strong>MD, University of Minnesota<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What drew you to a career in anesthesiology?<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>I never considered anesthesiology as a specialty until my general surgery rotation as a third-year medical student in Minnesota. I initially loved the mix of pharmacology and physiology happening on the other side of the drape. I also liked the spectrum of patients from healthy to critically ill. Most importantly, I felt like I fit in personality-wise with all the anesthesiologists I met in medical school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I chose UNMC:<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>I chose UNMC because of the vast clinical experiences offered here and the reputation of the program for being welcoming and family friendly. I also appreciate that UNMC is both the academic institution and major trauma center for the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any specific goals as chief resident?<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>As chief residents, Paul and I hope to continue to foster a positive culture in the program. Creating the resident schedule is a big part of the chief job.  We want to make it as fair and equitable as possible while maximizing residents’ ability to attend important events like weddings and family trips. I hope our co-residents will find us approachable and willing to solve problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you consider your greatest achievement?  <\/em><\/strong>So far, my greatest achievement is having a baby during residency. It’s such an honor to take care of patients and my little buddy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your life like outside of work?<\/strong> Outside of work, you’ll find me hanging out with my baby (almost 8 months old!) and my husband when we’re both off work. I look forward to having hobbies again one day (haha.) We love taking our dog on walks and occasionally arranging doggy playdates with my co-residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
