Education |
We're pleased you are interested in learning more about our outstanding
Resident Education Program at Duke University Medical Center! Residents
are selected for our program on the basis of maturity, scholarship,
initiative and a sense of independence.
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. Prior to the CA-3 year, each resident will select
one of two CA-3 tracks:
- Advanced Clinical Track: Six months in advanced clinical anesthesiology,
with the remaining six months in one to three selected subspecialty
rotations or additional advanced anesthesiology.
- Clinical Scientist Track: Six months of approved clinical or
laboratory investigation plus six months of advanced clinical
anesthesiology or a subspecialty rotation.
