Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine Residency

Jefferson's residency training is well-rounded due to the wide variety of cases performed at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and affiliated institutions. The Otorhinolaryngology, Orthopedics, and Neurosurgery departments at Jefferson perform some of the largest volume of cases in our region, which makes for lots of opportunities for regional and other anesthesia modalities. Additionally, residents rotate at the adjacent Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience (JHN). JHN is a free-standing neurology and neurosurgery hospital that performs a large number of craniotomies and aneurysm clippings and coilings.

At Jefferson, your education is our priority. Our comprehensive didactic and simulation programs fully prepare our trainees for board certification.   In addition, we have several mock oral board sessions throughout the year. Our residents publish and present at national anesthesiology society meetings including the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP), International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS), Society for Cardiovascular Anesthesia (SCA) and the American Society for Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA).

Another highlight of working at Jefferson is our location. We are situated in one of the most vibrant parts of downtown Philadelphia, blocks away from the Liberty Bell and many national historic sites. Many residents and faculty live within walking distance of Jefferson, allowing for a rich interaction with the art and culture of one of the best cities in the country!

It is an exciting time to train at Thomas Jefferson University; The Jefferson Health Network is one of the fastest growing in the United States.

Our residents are a diverse group of talented individuals.  Although our selection process examines candidates individually in many areas of academic and nonacademic achievement, overall our residency classes have USLME and/or COMLEX scores above the national average for the specialty. Our residents are drawn from medical schools around the country and around the world.

We are proud to produce physician anesthesiologists of the highest clinical caliber who are prepared to tackle the next professional challenge regardless of what their ambitions may be. Many of our residents choose to continue training after residency with a Fellowship in a subspecialty area, others choose to work as general anesthesiologists in academic, private practice, or military settings.
