Dear Prospective Resident,

I would like to encourage you to peruse our website to find out more about the great residency program that you might be recruited into.

I am proud of the residents in our program and the careful, well-informed, professional clinical care that they provide when administering anesthesia, managing acute or chronic pain patients as well as when attending in the ICU and preoperative assessment clinic.

The opportunities offered here are outstanding.

Do you want to become a superb general anesthetist with a view to a career in private practice?

    You can start as a PGY 1 in our program integrating your internship with early anesthesia training throughout your PGY1 and PGY2 years. After becoming board eligible and graduating the PGY4 year we offer a one and one-half to two year Rotating Instructor Position, as an attending where you will gain further consultant experience in all subspecialty anesthesia areas and have the opportunity to study and be prepared for your oral boards, before venturing into private practice.

Do you want to become a physician educator and contribute to the knowledge and growth of our specialty by staying on in an academic department that values teaching and learning in its many forms?

    You will be involved as a resident in simulator education and our departmental effort to assess methods for adjudicating ACGME defined competencies in residency training.

Do you want to become a physician scientist? With a well structured academic career founded on either clinical or basic science research.

    You can opt to use the last 6 months of your PGY4 year to start to develop a career in clinical research or basic science research in our sophisticated neuroscience laboratory or by being involved in a coherent clinical research program investigating the impact of perioperative interventions on patient outcome measures.

So whatever you may be looking for, we can challenge you and create the opportunity for your success as a clinician, clinician educator, or clinical scientist. Come and see for yourself!
