Welcome to Training Residency Section
About Anesthesiology Residency:
In order to become eligible for certification by American Board of Anesthesiology,
residents must satisfactorily complete a clinical base year (PGY-1) plus the CA-1,
CA-2 and CA-3 (PGY 2-4) years. You may
apply through the NRMP for either a categorical
or an advanced position. The three year clinical anesthesia curriculum consists
of experiences in basic anesthesia, subspecialty anesthesia and advanced anesthesia
training. During the CA-3 year the resident and Program Director will select one
of three tracks: Advanced Clinical, Subspecialty Clinical or Clinical Scientist
tracks. The PGY-1 year in anesthesia consists of three months internal medicine,
three months child health and four to five months of general surgery and emergency
medicine. The department can also assist you in obtaining a clinical base year in
either General Surgery or Internal Medicine if you would prefer. We will work with
the individual departments to coordinate interviews and rank lists. Each trainee
in clinical anesthesia does approximately 500 anesthetic procedures each year which
provide ample time for study and reading. All surgical specialties are represented
including obstetrics and a variety of anesthetics are taught. We have an active
Same Day Surgery Unit.
