As one crosses the Causeway 45 minutes south of Houston they are typically greeted with pelicans flying in the sky and palm trees blowing in the island breeze. This introduces the island ambiance. One's time in Galveston is not complete without experiencing a jog on the historic seawall or a beach day with friends to relax. A Galveston Bucket List includes the Art Walk in The Strand District, a production at the Grand Opera House, and attendance at a Mardi Gras Ball. The rich cultural history of the island coupled with its unique beach town living provides a unique experience for a fellowship year. A family friendly atmosphere within and around the Department of Anesthesiology is an absolute strength of this region and the departmental camaraderie is immediately evident upon indoctrination into the UTMB family.
