In our long history as an academic anesthesia department, The Medical College of Georgia Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine has established clerkships, a pain fellowship, and an anesthesiology critical care fellowship. A joint emergency medicine/anesthesiology critical care fellowship started in 2019, we welcomed our first pediatric anesthesiology fellow in 2020, and the clinician-educator fellowship began in 2021.
Our anesthesiology residency program provides comprehensive training in perioperative patient care, pain management and critical care medicine. We pride ourselves in training expert clinicians who are independent and confident when they graduate from our program. Our goal is to provide outstanding care to our patients by integrating education, evidence-based medicine and research in daily patient care.
Our board-certified faculty paired with the school’s high-tech simulation lab provide an immersive learning experience. We believe in encouraging open feedback, new ideas, and innovations that lead to efficient clinical care and build strong relationships with our faculty and staff.

Educational Simulation
MCG Educational Simulation provides support to the Medical College of Georgia community in the design, development, and implementation of high quality formative and summative educational simulation activities.
“We wanted to encourage students at a very early age to get incorporated and excited about medicine,” said Krishna Shah, a fourth-year medical student and one of those spearheading the project.
“Going from instructor level to assistant to associate to professorship, it tends to take women significantly longer, and we're not promoted in the same percentages as men are, and I feel it'll take another couple of decades to get us where we need to be,” said Ellen Basile, DO.
“That’s the beauty of the simulation center. We have a mannequin, and then one of us can become the hands of those participants," said Dr. Vikas Kumar.
A new one-year pediatric anesthesiology fellowship program to train physicians who specialize in the care of infants and children under anesthesia begins this summer at the Medical College of Georgia.
