Residency Program

The educational programs within the Department of Anesthesiology at UC Irvine have been developed to provide a diverse and exciting opportunity for the residents & faculty to grow as anesthesia providers. Our goal is to create a curriculum that not only reflects the objectives and competencies of the American Board of Anesthesiology, but also emphasizes personal growth and development as well.

Throughout the course of the year, our residents will be exposed to a number of exciting and unique educational opportunities. Many times the scheduled activities focus on all members of our department, but our curriculum has also been designed to target the needs of each individual resident class. CA-1 residents have a didactic lecture series & clinical conferences. As residency continues, more emphasis will be made on developing judgement and adaptability, utilizing problem-based learning discussions, with an ultimate goal in your third year of preparing for board certification. In addition, we have developed a portion of our curriculum to focus on personal growth and professional development. These courses will be given to all residents, with emphasis on subjects such practice management, ethics and professionalism, and substance abuse training.
