The Anesthesiology residency program has a long-standing tradition of excellence in preparing graduates for autonomous practice.
Our program offers a three-year advanced tract and a four-year categorical tract which includes a clinical base year (CBY) during the PGY1 year. Details of the clinical training, including rotations, can be found below.
We are proud of the robust and diverse clinical training available at The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. Not only does this enable residents to have a broad clinical experience, but it also allows them to comfortably complete all case and procedural requirements, as defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)’s Anesthesiology Residency Review Committee, by the middle of their CA-2 year. Due to this clinical volume, our residents can uniquely customize their CA-3 year to fit their educational and training interests. This includes scheduling a variety of clinical electives and pursuing dedicated clinical and / or basic science research opportunities. Below is a sample schedule for our residents.

No Pain Labor
Outreach program in China to promote safe labor and decrease the rate of cesarean delivery.
Project EAR
Humanitarian effort to help the poor and underserved in the Dominican Republic who suffer from hearing loss and ear disease. During this week-long trip, our residents provide anesthesia to facilitate procedures performed by our ENT colleagues.
Our department offers ACGME-accredited fellowships in cardiothoracic anesthesiology, critical care medicine, obstetric anesthesiology, pain medicine, and acute pain and regional anesthesia. The department also offers fellowships in neuroanesthesiology and ambulatory anesthesiology/business and leadership. As such, our residents have faculty readily available to mentor them in all subspecialty fields.
As a large institution with a complex patient population, our fellows take on different roles from residents and do not compete with residents for participation in patient care.
