Anesthesiology Clerkship

Medical students will gain basic knowledge of the field, develop fundamental technical skills, and delve into the important role of anesthesiologists as perioperative physicians.

Clerkships are 4-week rotations in the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. We have anesthesia (OR), critical care, pain medicine, and away anesthesia clerkships. Hands-on learning is complemented by a daily lecture series designed just for medical students. You'll be encouraged to discuss topics with your assigned resident to gain a clear understanding of important principles in this specialty.

We also offer an anesthesia externship, also known as the graduate assistant program in anesthesiology.

Another opportunity to explore anesthesia on campus is the student-led Anesthesia Interest Group.

In 2020, we began a more systematic way to connect medical students interested in research with anesthesia faculty who could use a hand in their research projects (forms may work better in Chrome).
