Mentorship

The Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC is committed to fostering professional growth and development through a comprehensive mentorship culture.

We recognize that meaningful mentorship takes many forms and is essential for both physicians and CRNAs navigating their careers in anesthesiology and perioperative medicine. Our department provides multiple pathways for mentoring relationships, including mentorship that pairs experienced practitioners with trainees and early-career professionals, as well as peer mentoring opportunities that enable colleagues at similar career stages to support one another.

Whether through one-on-one guidance, group learning experiences, or informal collegial support, our mentors are dedicated to helping mentees develop clinical expertise, advance their professional goals, and thrive in their roles. We believe that mentorship strengthens not only individual careers but also enhances the quality of patient care and the overall excellence of our department.
