The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine is a fully accredited categorical residency program designed to provide housestaff with a comprehensive clinical and research experience ranging from minor to the most complex anesthetics in all of the subspecialty areas. The goal of the program is to provide the necessary training and experience for a resident to be both a clinically and academically successful perioperative physician, as well as to direct the resident toward the successful completion of the American Board of Anesthesiology certification examination.
The Department of Anesthesiology consists of three integrated teaching hospitals – Saint
Luke’s Hospital, Truman
Medical Center Hospital Hill and Children’s
Mercy Hospital. Throughout the course of training, residents
rotate at all three hospitals. These institutions provide a model environment
for residents desiring to develop the skills and knowledge level representative
of competent, well-trained anesthesiologists. All members of the teaching
staff have unmodified academic appointments at the Medical School, are board-certified, and many are subspecialty trained and certified.
It is the belief of the faculty that residency training should be a balance of life experiences. This includes adequate exposure for the resident in the clinical care of patients, sufficient time for didactic and research instruction, opportunities for self-reflection and personal study, participation in the administrative aspects of the Department, and the development of friendships that will last a lifetime. The training program offers all of these elements. If this Web site peaks your interest, the faculty encourages you to visit us and experience the culture of a comprehensive training program for future anesthesiologists.
