Goals + objectives
Our program strives to present our residents with motivating and meaningful learning opportunities to facilitate their development into skilled consultants in anesthesiology, capable of providing patient-centric care for all patients regardless of age or co-morbidities. We have a diverse didactic program of lectures, workshops, a question-of-the-day, quality assurance presentations and projects, simulator training, journal clubs, and mock oral exams to complement our strong clinical education that includes daily case-based teaching, well-defined rotations and a complex and diverse patient population. Growth in resident expertise is followed through the core competencies: Medical Knowledge, Patient Care, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Professionalism, Practice Based Learning and Improvement, and Systems Based Practice.
