Many of our faculty have taken advantage of these resources to extend and improve their teaching skills. We are currently working on expansion of the department s research activity. We have an active basic science research program that investigates mechanisms of airway and vascular reactivity. PhD scientists, faculty, and residents participate in this activity. An important goal for the department is to expand its clinical research programs, which have recently included projects in pain management and obstetrical anesthesia.
Plans are under way to expand department resources in support of clinical trials.
This department has recently included projects in pain management and obstetrical anesthesia. Plans are under way to expand department resources in support of clinical trials. This department has enjoyed a period of stability and expansion despite recent fluctuations in resident applications and manpower availability at both the state and national levels. Our programs are recognized as vital to the missions of the institution, and we have good support from both the University Hospital and the School of Medicine. We have a unique combination of challenging but rewarding working conditions plus and extraordinary natural environment for those who enjoy year-round outdoor activity.
