I'm a CA-2 at Yale. We have an excellent, if small fellowship here. They take two fellows per year, and we have 6 dedicated pediatric ORs plus cath lab, MRI, off-floor. Although it is a small program, the numbers of complicated cases that each fellow does (CDHs, TEF, cardiac) is comparable to the big programs. We probably do have fewer congenital patients coming for routine procedures (I.E. s/p TOF coming for T&A) than the major referral centers.
The peds department is fantastic in terms of the attendings. They are incredibly skilled and knowledgeable.
I've had several surgeons who trained at the huge Children's Hospitals (Boston, CHOP) complement our anesthesia attendings in comparison to those where they trained. They are also some of the nicest people I've ever worked with, and without exception, they will go out of their way to facilitate resident and fellow education and give us opportunities for procedures or making decisions in patient management. They really seem to have achieved perfect combination of giving the trainees independence, yet being able to step in and support us whenever we need help.
Schedule: no overnight or weekend in-house call, the fellows split up beeper call, but are rarely called in (only for a "fellow-level" case like a CDH)
