Description:
The Department of Anesthesiology offers a four week elective for a third

This comprehensive elective introduces the student to preoperative evaluation,
intraoperative management and postoperative routine and critical care. Emphasis
is placed on the scientific foundations of anesthesia, including organ-system
pathophysiology, autonomic and anesthetic pharmacology, and hemodynamic monitoring.
Morning case conferences and afternoon topical lectures will supplement operating
room patient care responsibilities. In the operating room, there is a one-to-one
teaching by both anesthesia residents and faculty. The student may elect to
do a one week rotation in a specialty field of anesthesia, e.g. obstetrics,
neurosurgery, cardiothoracic or pediatrics. On-call responsibilities at Bellevue
Hospital will be one evening per week during which time the student will work
with the Bellevue Team Captain.

management and postoperative routine critical care. The student will obtain
