Focusing on Patients through Research, Education, and Care

Founded in 1949, the Department of Anesthesiology was one of the first academic departments of anesthesiology in the nation. Your gift supports efforts that have a significant impact on patients and shape the future of surgical care.

OUTSTANDING CARE

Anesthesiologists play an important role in caring for patients before, during, and after surgery. We strive to provide the highest-quality care and continuously improve our services. Your generosity supports advances in critical areas including pain, sleep, consciousness, cognition, pediatric anesthesiology, and obstetric anesthesiology. 

TOP-RATED EDUCATION

Our department is recognized as one of the best training programs in the nation. Guided by renowned faculty, our residents and trainees become tomorrow’s experts and leaders in anesthesiology and contribute to the field throughout their careers. Your support ensures that our learners have the resources they need to excel. 

PIONEERING RESEARCH

We aim to answer key questions in patient outcomes, neuroscience, and pain and opioids research. Our work is among the most influential in the field and we share our discoveries with other doctors and scientists through publications and other avenues to help ensure that all patients receive outstanding care. Donor generosity helps us pursue bold ideas and demonstrate the potential of innovative projects that will have great impact.

Together, we can make an important difference for patients now and in the future.
