Faculty The Department of Anesthesiology currently has 23 full time faculty and two Ph.D.'s. All faculty members are ABA certified in Anesthesiology and several are also certified in the areas of Pain Management and Critical Care. The Department also has a core group of local private practitioners who serve as Volunteer Clinical Faculty. Each subspecialty area of anesthetic practice is represented by a group of Anesthesiologists with training in that area. These groups set standards for each subspecialty rotation and subspecialty tracks.
Faculty take a keen interest in the residents and are always available for discussion.
Our faculty have close ties with a majority of the alumni and are more than willing to aide senior residents in their search for post graduate jobs.
