Research
Alternatively, a candidate may pursue training in basic science or clinical research. Basic science research in anesthesiology and related areas of physiology and pharmacology is conducted at several sites and is under the direction of Department Chair Cynthia Lien, MD.
Additional training
An optional 6- to 12-month training provides the interested candidate with additional clinical expertise in cardiac anesthesiology, pain management, or critical care. This training can be pursued within a second ACGME fellowship, or informally in addition to a part-time clinical appointment.
Other second-year fellowship opportunities
The Program offers qualified fellows the option of complete, additional, non-ACGME training as a faculty-instructor, with dedicated protected time for focused career development. Opportunities exist to specialize in pediatric cardiac anesthesiology and quality/safety management. These opportunities are available to qualified fellows who apply either at the time of initial interview, or during their Children's fellowship year. Exceptional outside candidates will be considered as availability permits.
