Innovative 48 Month Scholars Curriculum

Innovative Combined Programs in Anesthesiology for physicians interested in careers combining anesthesiology and critical care or basic/clinical research.

Our department has been approved to begin training residents in two innovative 48-month programs beginning at the PGY 2 level.  Residents entering this program will choose either the Anesthesiology/Critical Care Medicine track or the Anesthesiology/Medical Scientist track.

Anesthesiology/Critical Care Medicine:
The Anesthesiology/CCM track is designed to allow residents to complete all requirements of the core anesthesiology program and the CCM fellowship over 48 months (PGY 2-PGY 5).  The critical care rotations will be distributed over the PGY 3- PGY 5 years, allowing the resident a balanced training experience.  The resident would then be qualified to sit for the board examination for both anesthesiology and critical care medicine.  A demonstrated interest in critical care will enhance the applicant’s qualifications. 

Anesthesiology/Medical Scientist track:
The Anesthesiology/MS track is designed to allow residents to complete all requirements of the core anesthesiology program integrated with 12 to 18 months of research over 48 months (PGY 2-PGY 5).  The resident would then be qualified to sit for the board examination for anesthesiology and receive an additional certificate in research.  Research may be either basic science or clinically oriented, and will be mentored closely by faculty.  Demonstrated interest in research will enhance the applicant’s qualifications.
