Education

The Anesthesiology Residency Training Program provides a comprehensive educational experience at two major tertiary care hospitals in Pittsburgh: The Western Pennsylvania Hospital  (WPH) and Allegheny General Hospital (AGH). The large, enthusiastic physician faculty has a diversity of clinical and educational backgrounds, ensuring that residents have a rich educational experience.

The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and consists of three years of Clinical Anesthesiology (CA-1, CA-2, and CA-3) with subspecialty and/or research rotations that provide a balance between didactic and clinical experiences.

The training continuum provides comprehensive experience in the management of patients in all surgical subspecialties, Critical Care Medicine, Pain Management, Post-Anesthesia Care, and Ambulatory Anesthesia, while also preparing the resident for a broad range of practice opportunities and fellowships in anesthesiology.
