The resident receives a focused experience in regional anesthesia during the Block Rotation. As a resident, you'll have the opportunity to participate in various clubs and programs, attend Grand Rounds, conferences, and departmental addresses. Residents are assessed by faculty, fellow residents and nurses. The categorical program consists of a four-year educational continuum approved by the American Board of Anesthesiology. The advanced position will require completing your Clinical Base Year at another ACGME-accredited institution with certain requirements and join us for the three years of clinical anesthesia training.
During your residency, you will have the opportunity to rotate through all DMC hospitals and surgical centers spread over the Detroit Metro area, giving you a diverse experience and teaching you adaptability to different environments and patient populations.
Starting off as an anesthesiology resident can be challenging, so you will have the chance to shadow and learn anesthesia safely during the final month of your intern year before gaining comfort in the OR with the fundamental skills of anesthesia.
This unique transition is one our residents love. Your second year will hone in on subspecialty training with increasingly complex cases and introduce you to intraoperative TEE while your third year allows you to enjoy the role of junior faculty, managing resident cases while also focusing on your unique career path, molding your electives and research to where your interests lie.
All the while, weekly didactics are aimed at written and oral board preparation, with the help of world renowned guest speakers, journal club meetings, and our state-of-the-art educational simulator center.
Current Residents. Recently Graduated Residents. Medical Student Research Opportunities. For more information, please contact: George McKelvey, Ph. Research Aims To facilitate student understanding of research processes, in particular research projects involving the physiology, pharmacology, and clinical management of anesthesia care and perioperative medicine.
Research Process Students participating in a research project will be mentored by the corresponding Principal Investigator attending M. Evaluation and References.
For those who have completed their research requirements, evaluations or references by the faculty may be obtained by contacting: Stephanie Harris Research Coordinator John R.
During this advanced rotation, residents will improve upon procedures learned in the surgical ICU but also have the opportunity for the placement of pulmonary artery catheters, hemodynamic monitoring using disposable transesophageal echocardiography, as well as critical care ultrasonography.
Residents will expand upon their knowledge of cardiac and pulmonary physiology will caring for patients post lung and heart transplant patients, as well as patients with mechanical circulatory support ventricular assist devices and extracorporeal life support ECLS.
Teaching occurs during bedside rounds as well as scheduled didactics. They are exposed to new patient evaluations, multi-modal diagnostic, and therapeutic management of chronic and cancer-related pain. Residents also receive education in the identification and management of substance use disorders. As part of the chronic pain team, residents participate in a variety of interventional pain procedures ranging from epidural steroid injections and radiofrequency ablations, to spinal cord stimulator placements.
The CA-3 year provides the resident with a month experience in advanced and complex anesthesia assignments.
Clinical assignments in the CA-3 year include difficult or complex anesthesia procedures and the care of seriously ill patients. Subspecialty rotations are encouraged but may not be longer than six months.
Ambulatory rotation : Senior residents will spend one month at the new Eye and Ear Institute where they will learn to develop strategies for outpatient anesthetic management. In addition to performing regional blocks, the resident will become proficient at the anesthetic management for ENT, plastics and eye procedures.
The month includes one-on-one teaching and a dedicated lecture schedule. Cardiac critical care rotation : Residents interested in pursuing further training in cardiac or critical care anesthesiology can elect to do a an additional one month elective in the cardiothoracic surgical ICU where they will expand upon their knowledge of post-cardiac surgery, ventricular assist device VAD , intra-aortic balloon pump, and ECMO patients.
Regional anesthesiology : This one month elective, which takes place at the main campus allows senior residents to hone the skills they have learned during their regional rotation during their CA-2 year. Regional exposure includes upper and lower extremity blocks, perineural catheters, paravertebral blocks and epidurals. The block resident also acts as the go-to resident for difficult airways, codes, ultrasound IV or other advanced procedures that may be needed throughout the day.
Primarily based out of the Clinical Skills Education and Assessment Center CSEAC , this rotation will prepare residents to develop an educational portfolio so they can step into an educational leadership role early in their faculty career. The program offers resources to provide a research track of up to six months devoted to a laboratory or clinical investigation.
For the resident who elects this track, it is expected that the result of the investigations will be suitable for presentation at a local, regional or national scientific meeting.
The research track generally occurs in the CA-3 year, but at the program director's discretion, may be taken earlier. The resident is expected to do an academic project, which may include special training assignments, grand rounds presentations , preparation and publication of a review article, book chapters, manuals for teaching or clinical practice or similar academic activities.
A faculty supervisor is in charge of each project. At the discretion of the program director, the project may occur prior to the CA-3 year. In addition, each will be assigned to a team departmental quality improvement project. Each resident is also required and provided funding to present at the Midwest Anesthesia Residents' Conference.
This program meets the ABA requirement of one year of non-anesthesia clinical training prior to starting three years of clinical anesthesia training. Within the institution, we partner with program directors from other specialties to provide an enhanced learning experience for our PGY-1 trainees in various medical and surgical disciplines.
The table below shows the number of blocks assigned to each rotation during the three years of clinical anesthesiology training. Note that the third year is largely elective, with residents given the opportunity to select rotations best suited to their clinical interests.
Our comprehensive education program is designed to provide a framework to ensure academic achievement. Residents are always relieved from clinical duties to attend weekly 2 to 4 hour formal didactic sessions.
