UPMC Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine Innovation Pathway
Innovation is a fundamental aspect of medicine, especially in the field of anesthesiology. At the national level, the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health recently emphasized the need for innovation within perioperative medicine, leading to a collaboration with the Society for Technology in Anesthesia at this year’s American Society of Anesthesiologists annual meeting. Between the recent pandemic and anesthesiology’s regard as “... one of the most transformative medical specialties with regard to patient safety,” the perioperative environment is ripe with opportunity to innovate. From developing modern CPR to instituting the first intensive care unit, the University of Pittsburgh/UPMC Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine remains a leader in clinical innovation.
We offer robust support for innovation projects in conjunction with a well-established network of innovation support both at The University of Pittsburgh and within the City of Pittsburgh’s innovation ecosystem.
To connect busy clinicians with ideas to teams of innovation experts, the below pathway is offered to members of the department at any career phase:
