Research
Faculty in the Division of Regional Anesthesia at Stanford have research interests encompassing a variety of topics related to regional anesthesiology and acute pain medicine.
We have a number of ongoing projects involving faculty, fellows, residents, and medical students. Our group has a full-time research assistant dedicated to the execution of high-quality studies. We collaborate with other institutional departments, including the surgical subspecialties, as well as with other anesthesiology departments across the country. The diversity of interests in our core research team ensures that every trainee has the opportunity to pursue a project that aligns with his or her individual goals.
