Anesthesiology Residency Program

“Our diverse training program allows you to develop the skills you need to be successful in a career in anesthesiology, whether it be as a clinician, researcher or teacher,” says interim program director Nader D. Nader, MD, PhD.

We are committed to excellence in resident education, clinical care and research. The extensive training offered by this program prepares each resident to successfully pursue future goals, whether they be in teaching, clinical care or research.

Training in anesthesiology at UB is designed to provide resident physicians with a broad range of experiences that will enable them to function as competent consultants in a private or academic setting. Focused in this fashion, the department combines broad clinical experience with a comprehensive didactic schedule.

Physicians accepted into the residency program will become an integral component of a department that aspires to achieve excellence in teaching, clinical care and research. Unique and diverse training opportunities abound.
