RESIDENCY TRAINING IN THE PGY-1 YEAR

Our categorical residency training program is designed to prepare a resident for a career as a perioperative consultant and anesthesiologist. It follows the philosophy of the American Board of Anesthesiology with an emphasis on training in critical care medicine within the anesthesiology residency program. Our department has long been a leader in critical care medicine and education. While many of the clinical rotations are within the departments of internal medicine and general surgery, the PGY-1 year remains under the direction of our department’s residency training program and program director. We are committed to providing the finest PGY-1 training experience in the country.
