Anesthesiology Residency

Welcome

The objectives of the Henry Ford St. John Anesthesia Residency Program are to provide high-quality graduate medical education in a supervised and academic atmosphere that prepares resident physicians to practice comprehensive, scientific, safe, and cost-effective anesthesia. Training revolves around the mission of delivering patient-centered, safe, and compassionate care.

This is accomplished by milestone-based training, utilizing the six core competencies outlined by the ACGME:

• Patient Care and Procedural Skills
• Medical Knowledge
• Practice-based Learning and Improvement
• Interpersonal and Communication Skills
• Professionalism
• Systems-based Practice

Our goal is that by the end of residency, graduates of our program are superior anesthesiologists well-prepared for the next phase of their careers in general anesthesia, subspecialty training, or academic medicine.

Program Overview

Our program is under the direction of our Program Director and Department Chief. They are supported by a sizable faculty specializing in all subspecialty areas of anesthesia. The program includes:
