The Stanford Anesthesiology Residency program is committed to providing rigorous clinical education, to nurturing residents to deliver compassionate, equitable patient-centered care, and to cultivating future leaders in the field. We also embrace and live out our departmental values (IMPACT – innovation, mentorship, participation, action, connection, teamwork).

Residents in our program receive broad clinical training across four hospitals, are taught by supportive faculty who are leaders in their field, have dedicated didactics using innovative teaching methods, and receive mentorship and resources to pursue their passions and interests within medicine and anesthesiology.

The Stanford Medicine Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine values and is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion for its staff, residents, fellows, and faculty. In 2015, we created the Anesthesiology Diversity Council with the mission to recruit, support, retain, and promote diversity within the department. Each division within our department has faculty dedicated to creating scholarship opportunities, fostering inclusion, providing mentorship, and guiding education efforts to be able to address the health needs of a diverse patient population.

Welcome to the Stanford Anesthesiology Residency Program website! Having had the honor of training at Stanford as both a resident and fellow, and now serving as the residency program director, I am privileged to work with, lead, and support our residents. Our residency program is the heart of our departmental mission and community. Guided by a faculty of exceptional clinicians, researchers, and leaders, we are committed to nurturing the education and mentorship of our residents, while collectively delivering patient-centered care and pioneering advancements in our field.

My favorite aspect of our residency program is our residents themselves. They are intelligent, growth-minded, team-focused, compassionate physicians who are dedicated to taking care of sick, complex patients. They also enjoy building community within the residency and together exploring the beautiful area that we work and live. They inspire me to continuously innovate,  creating a supportive training environment that empowers them to achieve their professional and personal aspirations.

Thank you for your interest in our program! I invite you to explore our website and discover more about our residency program and department.
