Education in Anesthesiology
 We are pleased that you are considering a career
in anesthesiology at Duke University Medical Center. The faculty
at Duke are dedicated to training superior clinicians of our specialty
and stimulating a lifelong interest in learning. The Duke University
training program in anesthesiology offers the triad of excellent
clinical patient care, continuing education for all members of
our department and research activities designed to bring forth
new knowledge. We are quite fortunate to have world-renowned Departments
of Surgery and Medicine at Duke University, providing us with a
tremendous breadth and depth of clinical material for our practice.
Residency
training at Duke University offers a grand beginning for a career
in anesthesiology, regardless of your ultimate
career
plans. Applicants considering a career in private practice
will encounter a myriad of clinical experience, ranging from the
simple
to the quite complex. Those considering an academic career
will benefit from the experience and mentorship of our research
mentors
and resources. Our graduating residents continue to do extremely
well, both in terms of locating desirable employment and in
achieving specialty certification with the American Board of Anesthesiology.
The physician entering our anesthesiology training
program will spend three years acquiring the skills, knowledge
and expertise
essential to the modern practice of anesthesiology. During
the CA-1 and CA-2 years, experience is gained systematically
through
a block rotation system. An intensive orientation program of
didactic lectures and close operating room supervision is designed
to enable
new residents to progress safely and comfortably through the
initial stage of residency. Maximum support is provided and
new residents
are given expanding responsibility as they progress.
As residents gain experience and confidence they
are expected to demonstrate independence and clinical acumen. The
first
two years
of the residency provide comprehensive clinical training.
The CA-3 year is structured to meet the needs and interests
of
each resident.
We want to produce anesthesiologists who are clinically skilled,
equipped with a wide knowledge base and firmly grounded in
the core competencies outlined by the Accreditation
Council for Graduate Medical Education.
We welcome your interest and look forward to receiving
your application.
