We were immensely excited to welcome Dr. Peggy P. McNaull, MD as our first female Chair of The Department of Anesthesiology in 2020. UVA Anesthesiology remains rooted in the Department’s historical mission and embraces modern innovations to advance our reputation of excellence. Dr. McNaull’s vision includes becoming the nation’s BEST in clinical care, medical education, bench and clinical research, encompassing diversity as we lead the field of anesthesiology globally.
