ANESTHESIOLOGY RESIDENCY
In order to become board eligible in anesthesiology, physicians must complete an internship (1 year), in addition to 3 years of residency, for a total of 4 years of training after medical school. An increasing number of programs combine internship and residency into a single four year program; though some individuals will complete a separate internship in internal medicine, surgery, OB/Gyn, or a transitional year internship, prior to beginning a dedicated anesthesiology residency. Though the details will vary by training site, all residency programs include training in basic and advanced anesthesiology as well as critical care training and dedicated time for regional anesthesia, chronic pain, obstetric, pediatric, trauma, neuro, and cardiothoracic anesthesia. Many programs include elective rotations as well for residents to focus on areas that interest them. Following completion of residency, anesthesiologists become eligible to take the written and oral board examinations.
MILITARY RESIDENCY SITES
The anesthesiology military residency programs have the same ACGME requirements as civilian programs. All of the programs offer similar rotations with only slight variations; the programs are on the same team with the same mission-- to create strong, competent military anesthesiologists.

Programs are requested to send their Teaching Fellow nominations annually to the ANE Department.
