Residency
Research
Residents
with interest in research and documented clinical accomplishments
may spend up to six months in our Research Lab. CA3 residents
who spend six months in research may also be offered a CA4 year in
laboratory or clinical research. A 2000 square foot research facility for
anesthesiology department members is located at the medical
center. The laboratories are equipped with sophisticated
analytical and monitoring equipment for basic research involving
large
or small animal models as well as bench experiments. The research
activities range from applied animal experimentation to clinical
studies requiring supportive laboratory investigation. Several
residents have presented their research results at the MARC
meeting, ASA, IARS, and other national meetings of anesthesiology.
The quality
of resident research is exemplified by the fact that residents
frequently have won special awards for their presentations. The
primary objective of this rotation is to acquire knowledge in:
- Basic Physiological Research
- Clinical Pharmacological Research
- Laboratory Research
