The Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine is integral to the healthcare, education, and research missions at OHSU. We provide clinical services at OHSU hospitals and collaborate with the VA Portland Health Care System and community hospitals. We specialize in providing excellent perioperative care and anesthesia services to our patients using state-of-the-art technology and pharmacologic tools with an emphasis on patient safety. In the operating rooms our anesthesiologists work in care teams with our fellows, residents, and nurse anesthetists as well as independently. Pre- and post-operative care is under the medical supervision of our department. We play a prominent role in the caring for patients in the cardiovascular, neurosciences, and virtual intensive care units and in the comprehensive pain center.

 

Our department is dedicated to providing the highest quality and most innovative education training in the country for residents, fellows, and medical students, with trainee opportunities at OHSU, the VA Medical Center, and community hospitals. Our very active education research group focuses on lifelong learning strategies, particularly in the area of regional anesthesia. We are the proud developers of the ASA’s Anesthesia Tool Box. We continue to innovate using tools to evaluate our learners’ progress on specific entrustable activities as well as broader readiness to be independent consultants in anesthesiology.

 

The Anesthesiology Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has consistently awarded our program full accreditation. We were the first program in the U.S. to be approved by the ACGME and ABA to allow for integrated training of research and anesthesiology, and critical care medicine and anesthesiology. We were also the first program to offer advanced curriculum options for our residents, on a voluntary basis through our ExCEL program. We offer fellowships in Pediatric Anesthesiology, Adult Critical Care, Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology, Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine. The scope of our training opportunities is extensive and includes exposure to a wide variety of patient diseases and surgical procedures as well as CPC and ICU training with dedicated time in our full-body human simulation laboratory.
