Anesthesiology
UPMC Mercy’s residency training in anesthesiology emphasizes a balance between didactic and clinical teaching. An enthusiastic faculty of 20 physicians of diverse clinical and educational backgrounds provides a rich experience.
The program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and consists of three years of clinical anesthesiology with subspecialty and research rotations.
The Clinical Base Year or Transitional Year (PGY-1) may take place at UPMC Mercy or at another accredited health care institution.
The training continuum provides comprehensive experience in the management of patients in all surgical subspecialties. Involvement in critical care medicine, pain management, postanesthesia care, and ambulatory anesthesia prepares the resident for a broad range of practice opportunities in anesthesiology.
A Healthy Learning Environment
UPMC Mercy fosters an environment of interaction that is conducive for training young physicians. As part of this effort, a personal interview is required of an anesthesiology applicant. The visit gives the applicant an opportunity to meet our faculty and to interact with residents currently in the program.
