Meet Our Trainees

Chandralekha Kruthiventi, M.B.B.S.

Chandralekha Kruthiventi, M.D.What makes this fellowship special? To me, the most important aspect of the fellowship is the faculty. It is a privilege to be trained by leaders in the field who are genuinely invested in our learning and development. Fellows will receive unparalleled clinical and procedural training, along with valuable research and career mentorship. Mayo Clinic offers extensive resources and opportunities, giving fellows incredible experiences across various ICU types, including Medical, Transplant, ECMO, and Surgical. Mayo Clinic’s dedication to patient-centered care makes this fellowship truly exceptional. With exceptional clinical training, supportive faculty, a diverse patient population, unique mentorship, and endless learning opportunities, this fellowship is truly one of a kind.

Luis Ng Sueng, M.D.

Why did you choose Mayo Clinic for fellowship training? Exceptional training and very broad clinical exposure. You get to work with intensivists with different backgrounds, including pulmonary, anesthesia, emergency medicine, nephrology and cardiologists. This variety makes the experience very robust, as you get to learn from experts in their field and how they think when they are working as intensivists. The fellowship rotations also include multiple subspecialty ICUs, including MICU, SICU, CICU, Neuro ICU, CV SICU, and Onc/Transplant ICU, which provides a very well-rounded experience when it comes to ICU clinical exposure.
