Welcome to the Department of Anesthesiology

Our dedication to exceptional patient care, outstanding resident education, and scholarly research has positively impacted the health of Southern California for more than twenty years. As the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Orange County, our department serves more than three million people in the Southern California region.

The past academic year has been marked by significant growth and development in anticipation of our new hospital opening in early 2009 with nineteen new operating rooms.  As an academic medical center, the residents in the Department of Anesthesiology receive education at several hospitals, including UC Irvine Medical Center, Long Beach Veteran’s Administration, Long Beach Memorial Hospital, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.  Our practitioners specialize in almost all subspecialties of anesthesiology, including obstetrical, cardiac, neurological, pediatric anesthesia, critical care medicine, and pain management.  Residents will benefit from this exciting time of rapid expansion, faculty recruitment, educational excellence, and innovative research.

Centrally located in sunny Southern California, the University of California, Irvine is a wonderful environment in which to work and train.  We invite you to be part of this experience.
