Chair WelcomeThe Department of Anesthesiology at the University of
Rochester Medical Center focuses on the residents. The Department
views each resident as an individual and provides a personalized level
of increasing responsibility in order to develop 100% of each resident's
potential. Outstanding Clinical TrainingGraduating residents from the University of Rochester are outstanding clinicians. With over 30,000 anesthetics administered annually, our residents learn to provide anesthesia for all types of surgical procedures. We assign progressively more complicated anesthetics to challenge the residents throughout their training in order that they develop into confident and competent anesthesiologists. Since our faculty members have received their training from many institutions, our residents are exposed to diverse anesthetic approaches and techniques. Comprehensive DidacticsOur Department has a very comprehensive didactic program, which is outlined in this brochure. Residents acquire a complete knowledge base in the field of anesthesiology. Our graduates' excellent performance on the written and oral ABA board exams attest to the value of this approach. Research OpportunitiesThe Department is involved in cutting-edge research in both the basic and clinical sciences with NIH, industry, and internally supported studies in progress. A significant number of our faculty have active research projects for which the Department encourages resident participation. Many residents present their research or case reports at the annual Midwest Anesthesia Residents' Conference. Atmosphere
We have created a humane anesthesiology training program—a tribute
to the fact that the entire Department focuses on the residency program.
The friendly atmosphere reflects the fact that our faculty
views the residents as colleagues and friends during training, and

With our emphasis on education and individual attention, our residents have consistently attained a high level of achievement on board exams and career placement. Although we value the clinical and academic achievements of our residents, we are equally proud of the personal and friendly atmosphere in which these achievements are attained.
