Clinical Experiences (Anesthesia)

Clinical  Experiences MoreStudents progress through a series of structured and scaffolded learning activities prior to embarking upon clinical learning experiences. Students rotate through numerous clinical sites in Pittsburgh and around the region including the UPMC hospitals, which are nationally known for surgical innovation, trauma medicine, organ transplantation, evidence-based anesthesia practice, research, and biomedical technology. Students have the opportunity for specialized experiences in cardiothoracic, neurosurgical, dental, regional anesthesia, organ transplantation, pediatrics, obstetrics, burns and pain management.  An array of additional clinical opportunities in community environments and other unique settings help to enrich the curriculum and prepare the graduate for practice in diverse settings. Upon completion, graduates are well-prepared to safely manage simple-to-extremely complex patients across the lifespan.
