Full disclosure - I really know very little about the program. I know people that teach there.
When I rotated there as a resident some years back, that was my experience and that is what the residents said. The staff is rarely there. That is good and that is bad.
However, things change. Bad things happen and staff become more mandated to be there. So who knows what it is like now.
When I was a resident, I was VERY impressed at how independent they practiced...they got things done and quickly. But also, they did things I would NEVER do and thought was somewhat dangerous. I thought..well, at least they have their indepedence.
If left to do anesthesia on your own, you will learn bad habits. If you have an attending by your side constantly, you will learn great habits, but probably lack in true confidence and independence. I'm sure there is a good balance.
Depends on the attending.
