Anesthesiology Residency Program

Committed to Training the Next Generation of Anesthesiologists Through Compassionate and Innovative Patient Care

 

Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center and the Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University offer a categorical 4-year Anesthesiology Residency Program, accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Our program is designed to produce outstanding perioperative clinicians and future leaders in Anesthesiology. Residents will be involved in the entire spectrum of the patient’s operative experience from optimizing preoperative medical conditions, delivering safe and comprehensive intraoperative anesthetic care, including intraoperative echocardiography skills, and managing acute and chronic pain. The broad and diverse clinical caseload is augmented by an innovative didactic curriculum that allows residents to meaningfully contribute to improving the clinical outcome of patients.

 

We accept four (4) residents per year.

Curriculum

Our philosophical approach to training the next generation of exceptional anesthesiologists is based on a long-standing trio of core principles of every faculty member in the Department: (1) patient-centered care; (2) teamwork; and (3) promoting educational excellence. We are committed to professionalism and strive to achieve an optimal work-life balance. Our aim is to create a unique learning environment where resident wellbeing is at the forefront of departmental culture.

PGY-1:

  • Internal Medicine (4 months)
  • General Anesthesia (1 month)
  • Surgery (3 months)
  • Emergency Medicine (2 months)
  • Cardiology (1 month)
  • Critical Care Medicine (1 month)


PGY-2 and PGY-3: Residents will learn to provide comprehensive anesthetic care during their first and second years of clinical training (CA-1 and CA-2) in general anesthesia and subspecialty areas with increasing levels of responsibility and autonomy. Subspecialty rotations vary in length from one to three months. 

PGY-4: In addition to honing their clinical patient-care skills in various subspecialties, Residents will have up to four (4) months of elective time during which they can pursue individual interests in clinical research endeavors, intraoperative TEE, critical care, acute and chronic pain, or learning the business aspects of medicine under the guidance of our faculty with specific expertise in these areas.

The Department of Anesthesiology firmly believes the resident learning experience extends well beyond the operating room. As such, we have put together a robust and comprehensive educational program that includes weekly subspecialty and board review lectures; monthly morbidity and mortality conferences; quarterly Grand Rounds and Journal Club; as well as experience with Simulation-based education and Oral Board Examination process. Residents will gain substantial experience in presenting in-depth and relevant topics under the guidance and mentorship of faculty who have been invited lecturers at local, national, and international conferences and universities.

Residents will have dedicated research time to complete a quality assurance project that promotes safety, efficiency, and/or the improvement of anesthesia care to patients. Likewise, residents have the opportunity for interdepartmental research collaboration with other specialties under the direction of a fulltime Physician Director of Research and a research coordinator. Furthermore, residents are encouraged to attend and present their research at the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and/or Texas Society of Anesthesiologists. Current research endeavors within the department are within the broad categories of quality improvement, population health, alternative teaching methods/simulation, medical cost-effectiveness, airway management, regional anesthesia, transplant anesthesia, and cardiac anesthesia.
