Summarized from the program’s official website. Confirm details with the program.
Program highlights
- No pediatric or many subspecialty fellows, so residents run complex cases (neonatal cardiac, neurosurgical, fetal surgery) with direct attending guidance; emphasise wanting hands-on autonomy.
- Regional anesthesia is a strength: roughly 2,500 blocks yearly at the VA and South Campus, Acute Pain Service consultant role, and senior residents can function like a regional pain fellow.
- Critical care depth: four-month rotation in the 20-bed Surgical Trauma ICU plus CVICU where residents lead care under anesthesia-trained intensivists.
- Transplant (heart, kidney, lung, pancreas, liver) and cardiovascular exposure; three four-week OB blocks make case-log minimums easy to meet.
- Research topics include thromboelastography, anesthesia and consciousness, and pediatric regional adjuncts, with up to $1,000 reimbursement for conference presentations (WARC, ASA).
- Application requires a program signal to be considered for interview (ERAS deadline October 1); signal your interest explicitly and ask about advanced vs categorical track fit.
