Education

Our mission in education at Stanford Anesthesiology is to improve health care and patient outcomes by assessing and enhancing the quality of education in all our programs (community, college, medical school, residency, fellowships, and continuing education).  We aim to be internationally recognized as having premier, innovative, and learner-centered education programs that train the next generation of leaders in Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine. 

Educational Programs and Opportunities

Residency Training

The residency is set up so that when residents graduate, they are ready to practice independently. Alumni surveys consistently tell us that the program achieves this goal: According to the surveys, graduates feel well prepared to manage any case they encounter, no matter how complex or challenging.

For physicians who have graduated from a residency program, Stanford’s Anesthesiology Department offers fellowships in many specialties, including different areas of research, various clinical specialties, global health, medical education, management of perioperative services.
