From the operating rooms to the classroom, and beyond; in our world-class ASA-certified simulation center and local, national, and international stages, we are committed to excellence in our educational programs.

The mission of the Anesthesiology Residency Program at the University of Pittsburgh is to prepare physicians to be consultants in perioperative medicine and future leaders in the field. This goal is accomplished through broad supervised clinical experience, a comprehensive multi-faceted didactic series, and active research. Our department takes great pride in the educational focus that permeates all aspects of resident training.

The University of Pittsburgh Departments of Pediatrics and Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine are pleased to offer this dual board acceptable opportunity to train in both specialties. At the end of the five-year program, residents will be eligible to become board-certified in both pediatrics and anesthesiology.

We offer world-class opportunities for advanced training through our Clinical Fellowship Programs.

We encourage involvement and engagement through a variety of academic, clinical, and social opportunities. Learn more about the Medical Student Programs.
