Students will develop skills in airway management and other aspects of anesthesia practice. During the rotation, students will have the opportunity to participate in subspecialty anesthesia practice, such as cardiothoracic anesthesia, neuroanesthesia, obstetric anesthesia, or pain management. For students with a specific subspecialty interest, an effort will be made to emphasize that area. Students will participate in all departmental teaching conferences.
