OVERVIEW
The Department of Anesthesiology is ranked among the leading academic departments in the country. We strive to provide excellent patient care, to train anesthesiologists and to improve anesthesia care and teaching through clinical and laboratory research; an ancillary goal is to train anesthesiologists for academic careers. When a physician completes our program, he or she is equipped to handle any clinical situation in the perioperative period.
ABOUT THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM
We offer a four-year residency program in Anesthesiology. Faculty and trainees work closely together. Residents are supervised by faculty on a one-to-one or one-to-two ratio and rotate between four main hospitals in the Seattle area.
Through the four-year program, residents learn through reading and direct experience everything they need to go out into the working world as clinical anesthesiologists. First year residents complete 6 months of surgery rotations, 5 months of medicine, and 1 month of anesthesia. Second year residents are trained in the fundamental physiological and pharmacological effects of the common medications used in anesthesia and become proficient in basic anesthesia skills, as well as preoperative assessment, preoperative preparation and medication, intraoperative management, and post-surgical care. Third year residents learn how to provide anesthesia for special groups of patients such as expectant mothers, children and neonates, people with chronic or acute pain, people undergoing critical heart, lung, or brain surgery and outpatient populations. Fourth year residents do advanced clinical anesthesia, including pediatric and cardiovascular, work in a postanesthesia care unit, and complete seven months in any area of interest.
ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Fellowships (advanced clinical training) are available in cardiothoracic anesthesiology, critical care, neuroanesthesia, obstetric anesthesia, pain management, pediatric anesthesia, trauma, and research.
