Today are going to dive into Pediatric Surgery. Drs Beltre, Filtz, and Mitchell sit down with Dr Samantha Ahle to discuss why she choose general surgery and a career in pediatric surgery, some of the factors that go into choosing a pediatric fellowship, address some of the considerations with becoming a pediatric surgeon and, of course, touch on the often discussed work-life balance.
Dr Ahle attended George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, DC for medical school. She did her residency training and completed a Masters in Med Ed at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, CT. She then went on to do a pediatric surgery fellowship at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, IL
