The Department
of Anesthesiology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of
Medicine is a fully accredited residency program designed to provide
housestaff with a comprehensive clinical and research experience ranging from minor
to the most complex anesthetics in all of the subspecialty areas. The
goal of the program is to provide the necessary training and experience
for a resident to be both a clinically and academically successful perioperative
physician, as well as to direct the resident toward the successful completion
of the American Board of Anesthesiology certification examination.
The Department of Anesthesiology consists of three teaching hospitals
– Saint
Luke’s Hospital, Truman
Medical Center Hospital Hill and Children’s
Mercy Hospital. Throughout the course of training, residents
rotate at all three hospitals. These institutions provide a model environment
for residents desiring to develop the skills and knowledge level representative
of competent, well-trained anesthesiologists. All members of the teaching
staff have unmodified academic appointments at the Medical School, are board-certified, and many are subspecialty trained and certified.
It is the belief of the faculty that residency training should be a
balance of life experiences. This includes adequate exposure for the
resident in the clinical care of patients, sufficient time for didactic
instruction, opportunities for self-reflection and personal study, participation
in the administrative aspects of the Department, and the development
of friendships that will last a lifetime. The training program offers
all of these elements. If this Web site peaks your interest, the faculty
encourages you to visit us and experience the culture of a comprehensive
training program for future anesthesiologists.
