"In a time of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future.
The learned usually find themselves equipped
to live in a world that no longer exists."

~ Eric Hoffer

The Department of Anesthesiology at The Ohio State University Medical Center offers an intensive postgraduate training program. Educational programs and innovative research, in the midst of an exciting clinical atmosphere, provide postgraduate trainees with unique and unparalled opportunities. Cooperative efforts with other hospitals within the patient care services of Ohio State's Medical Center complement the department’s comprehensive approach to patient care, research and education.

A stimulating mix of diverse clinical training and didactic lectures are provided to train residents in all levels throughout their training. New facilities are connected to state-of-the-art research facilities and provide an environment conducive to a career in research. All CA-1 residents participate in a one-week introduction to research rotation. This rotation provides a basic understanding of the process of scientific inquiry and provides an excellent foundation for those residents who are interested in the clinical scientist track in the CA-3 year.

The academic mission is strongly supported by Daniel Sedmak, MD, who holds the position of executive vice dean, College of Medicine. A recent RRC visit resulted in a four-year review cycle as well as an increase in the number of residents per class each year, from 10 to 12 residents.

The department also offers one-year clinical fellowships in pain medicine, critical care medicine, and cardiothoracic anesthesiology.
