The Department of Anesthesiology provides instruction in the clinical science of the specialty, and the physiology, pharmacology, and biochemistry on which it is founded. Emphasis is placed upon the integration of basic and clinical sciences, and upon an interdisciplinary approach to attain optimal care of patients. Instruction is provided to medical students during their clinical training years. All students rotate through anesthesiology during a two-week Miniclerkship experience. Those students interested in more advanced training are encouraged to apply a phase 3 anesthesiology sub internship rotation, during which they will be exposed to all aspects of clinical anesthesia management of surgical, obstetrical, and chronic pain patients.
In its graduate program, the department provides a four-year training program for residents specializing in anesthesiology. They administer anesthesia with supervision, participate in pre- and post-operative care, intensive care, cardiac, pediatric, neurosurgical, and obstetric anesthesia, and therapy of acute and chronic pain.
The Department of Anesthesiology also provides comprehensive instruction to dental, emergency medicine, orthopedic surgery, pedi dental, plastic surgery, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, and periodontal residents.
