Program Summary
The Anesthesiology Residency Training Program at the Washington University
School of Medicine is uniquely situated to train expert consultants in anesthesiology
and perioperative medicine as well as foster the development of physician-scientists. Strengths
of our program include:
- Our association with two internationally recognized institutions, Barnes-Jewish
Hospital and St. Louis
Children’s Hospital. The
heterogeneity of the patient population, the quantity of cases, and the
complexity of the surgical procedures performed are unsurpassed.
- Our anesthesiology department and its parent institution, the Washington
University School of Medicine, are international leaders in the fields
of basic science and clinical research.
- Our faculty members are experts in their subspecialty areas including anesthesia
for cardiothoracic, pediatric, obstetric, organ transplantation,
and neurological surgery as well as critical care medicine and pain
management. Residents receive exceptional training and education
in these subspecialty areas and are equiped to take full advantage of future
opportunities in community and academic practice, research, and fellowship
opportunities in all of the above areas.
- Our Simulation Center and faculty are committed to advancing the
science of using simulation in the education of medical students and residents. Our
specialty is a leader in this technology and our department is committed
to this educational mission.
