The Fellowship will provide a well­ rounded educational experience consisting of administrative rotations, didactics, research, and clinical work to create leaders in perioperative medicine.

The Fellowship is a 12-month, full-time experience consisting of four major components: administrative rotations, didactics, projects and research and a clinical commitment as a staff (Attending) anesthesiologist. The Fellowship aims to provide a diverse set of educational experiences tailored towards individual needs and background of each fellow.
