Anesthesia residents spend approximately 4-5 months on pediatric service during residency. Rotations start as early as the CA1 year and residents are ready to independently care for patients by graduation.
A comprehensive didactic program specific to Pediatric Anesthesia is provided weekly in addition to a weekly General Anesthesia curriculum.
Recent graduates who have shown an interest in a Pediatric Anesthesia subspecialty have successfully matched with their desired programs. We are also delighted when they return to work with us after their pediatric fellowships.
