Education
Our ACGME-accredited residency program provides in-depth and hands-on learning opportunities in both clinical and research areas. Residents and fellows spend over half of their time at UF Health Shands Hospital, a teaching, not-for-profit, 830-bed quaternary care hospital with over 100 ICU beds. They also train at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center, the UF Health Children’s Surgical Center, and the UF Health Florida Surgical Center.
Clinical
Faculty members specialize in a number of anesthesiology subspecialties according to their fellowship training and individual interests to provide the best talent and skills in the care of our patients. We serve the anesthesiology, pain, and critical care medicine needs for patients admitted to UF Health Shands Hospital and all of its subsidiary facilities. UF Health Shands Hospital has been recognized as one of the best hospitals in Florida.
Research
Scholarship and the discovery of new knowledge is a core component of our department. Faculty and colleagues produce over 100 peer-reviewed publications per year in addition to 40+ book chapters, new curricula, and other scholarly works. The department currently has over $7.9M in endowments and in fiscal year 2017, we received over $3.3M in research awards and donations.

Featured Story
Four residents score in the top 10% on BASIC Exam
ICYMI: CA-2 residents Paola Silva Enriquez, M.D., Dawei Guan, M.D., Wendy Guo, M.D., and Ben Yitzhak, M.D., scored in the top 10% nationally on the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) BASIC Examination this summer! The BASIC Examination is the first test of the ABA board certification process and is usually taken at the end of a resident’s first clinical anesthesia year (CA-1). It marks an important early milestone in a resident’s journey toward becoming a board-certified anesthesiologist. These high scores speak to the exceptional effort and depth of preparation our residents invest in their education.
