The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Virginia<\/a> is committed to quality\u00a0clinical care<\/a>, outstanding educational offerings, and cutting edge research.<\/p>\n

Patient Care<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our faculty members<\/span><\/a> staff approximately 40 anesthetic sites and 3 ICUs on any given day, performing or directing 38,000 anesthetic procedures in the course of a year.\u00a0 The\u00a0Pain Management Center<\/a>\u00a0and the Acute Pain Service recently were designated as an American Pain Society Center of Excellence.<\/p>\n

Education<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Department of Anesthesiology Residency Program<\/a>\u00a0trains 58 anesthesiology interns and residents<\/a>.\u00a0Post graduate training is available to\u00a0six pain medicine<\/a> fellows<\/span> and two\u00a0fellows in critical care anesthesia.\u00a0 The department also offers numerous opportunities for advanced training (non-accredited \u201cfellowships\u201d<\/em>) in medical simulation, education research, quality and safety, obstetrics, regional, and neuro anesthesia. Medical students complete a required perioperative clerkship in their third\u00a0year, including time in the American Society of Anesthesiology endorsed UVA Medical Simulation Center<\/a>.\u00a0Elective and research opportunities are available during the fourth\u00a0year.<\/p>\n

Research<\/span><\/h3>\n

We are currently recruiting for the Harold Carron Professor of Anesthesiology<\/a><\/p>\n

The department’s research efforts<\/a> involve dozens of faculty, residents, and staff in basic science and clinical research efforts.\u00a0 Our clinical investigators and\u00a0Ph.D. researchers maintain active basic science laboratories conducting anesthesiology-related investigations with support from post-docs, fellows, residents, and graduate students.\u00a0 Many of our faculty members are involved in clinical research<\/span><\/span><\/a>, supported by a staff of clinical research coordinators and post doctorate research fellows. The Technology in Anesthesia and Critical Care Group<\/a> focuses attention on biomedical devices and includes faculty from the School of Engineering and Applied Science as well as the School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Statement of Inclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The University of Virginia Department of Anesthesiology strives to promote a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion. As a department, and as part of the University, we condemn the violence and hatred that was demonstrated on our streets this past August.\u00a0 We embrace and appreciate all individual qualities and perspectives of our resident\/fellow trainees as well as our nurse anesthetists, faculty, staff, and patients.\u00a0 Each day we actively work to transform our culture to promote diversity and inclusion with excellence in clinical care, education, and research.\u00a0 We believe that diversity not only makes us stronger, facilitates collaboration, and aids in positive changes to the Department, but it is a core commitment and strength of the University.\u00a0\u00a0We are committed to ensuring everyone is welcome, safe, and valued\u00a0at UVA Health System.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
