A Message from the
Chairperson
 Welcome
to the Temple University Department of Anesthesiology website. This site
will provide information regarding our faculty and will also highlight our
commitment to patient care, education, and research. I hope that as you
explore this site you will develop a better understanding of the
department’s accomplishments and goals.
Whether you are a graduating resident or fellow looking for
an academic faculty position, a nurse anesthetist wishing to practice at one
of our hospitals or a medical student seeking a clerkship or residency in
Anesthesiology, I ask you to consider Temple.
For physicians-in-training, the Temple University Health
Sciences Campus is a superb educational setting in which to pursue
post-graduate education in Anesthesiology. You will experience the
full-range of perioperative medicine; from preoperative assessment and
evaluation to postoperative pain control and the post-surgical care of
critically ill patients. You will also receive training in the
subspecialties of anesthesiology, providing the strong foundation that is
essential for your future practice of anesthesiology.
For graduating residents and fellows I ask you to consider a
faculty position at Temple University’s School of Medicine. The School of
Medicine is central to Temple University’s Health Sciences Campus, which
includes more than 3,400 students and 807 faculty members in the Schools of
Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, and the College of Health
Professions. Also on the Campus is Temple University Hospital, which was
established in 1892. Temple University Hospital is a 535-bed facility,
which serves as both a primary health provider and tertiary referral center;
we are a level-one trauma center and have multiple transplant and magnet
programs. Physicians at Temple University Hospital treat more than 250,000
outpatients and over 20,000 inpatients annually. The Temple University
Children's Medical Center and Shriners Hospital for Children also share a
central role in our ability to care for all ages and all illnesses.
Certified registered nurse anesthetists play a vital role in
our department. Positions are available at the Children’s Hospital and at
Temple University Hospital. We have consistently been flexible in our
recruitment efforts; often creating new full-time or part-time positions
that fit the lifestyle(s) of our candidates. Sign-on bonuses have
historically been offered.
I believe we are fortunate that, throughout the years, our
department has developed and maintained a strong sense of community. We
provide an environment supportive of teamwork, clear and open communication,
and collaboration with other individuals, departments, and organizations.
And we also strive to offer opportunities for faculty, staff, residents, and
students to advance their careers in this field.
The past academic year has been marked by significant faculty
recruitment, educational vigor and new research initiatives. The Department
looks forward to continuing its mission of superb clinical care and academic
excellence.
