Welcome to the Department of Anesthesiology. Our mission is to educate the next generation of leaders in anesthesiology through the provision of state-of-the-art patient-centered care and the discovery of new knowledge that will shape tomorrow's care. This website is your portal to our department: who we are, what we do, and where we're going. No matter if you are a prospective student, resident, fellow, faculty or patient we trust that the information you seek about us is easily found on these pages. There are also links to other parts of the University of Rochester and the larger anesthesiology community that you may find interesting. As the new Chair, I will strive to keep this site a current, relevant reflection of the dynamic group of people who make the department what it is. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to better meet your needs. The motto of the University of Rochester - Meliora, aptly describes our department - "Always better".
