No matter if you are a prospective student, resident, fellow, faculty or patient we trust that the information you seek about us is easily found on these pages. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to better meet your needs. The motto of the University of Rochester - Meliora, aptly describes our department - "Always better".
Lata U. Sabnis, MD, Anesthesiology Residents Educational Endowment
The Lata U. Sabnis, MD, Anesthesiology Residents Educational Endowment will provide endowed support for the education of anesthesiology residents and fellows including travel to educational meetings and international electives, and to support additional educational initiatives for our trainees that could not be funded otherwise. The chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine will be responsible for disbursements from this fund. In the event gifts and commitments to the Fund reach or exceed the minimum level to endow a professorship, the Fund may be revised into the Lata U. Sabnis Professorship in Anesthesiology at the discretion of the chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine in consultation with the dean of the School of Medicine and Dentistry.

When tackling a complex problem like chronic pain, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates affects more than 50 million adults in the United States, researchers from a myriad of specialties need to join forces to ask questions and piece together answers. At Rochester, dentists, neuroscientists, surgeons, psychiatrists, anesthesiologists, nurse practitioners, and others are partnering to gain knowledge and insights that could transform treatment, care, and outcomes.
