Message from Our Chief Residents
It is our sincere pleasure as Chief Residents to say hello and welcome to the Department of Anesthesiology at Montefiore Medical Center! We are excited that you are considering coming to work with us as we serve the vibrant and diverse community of the Bronx.
As a resident, you will embark on what are the most formative years of your medical career designed to mold you into a skilled and confident anesthesiologist. Our curriculum involves a carefully curated mix of clinical experience, didactics, simulation, and self-study to prepare you for any challenge you may encounter as a physician in modern healthcare.
We believe in the necessity of adequate mentorship both from faculty and senior residents. During your time here, you will form relationships that will influence not only the way you practice anesthesia, but also your development as a professional within this fast-paced and growing field.
We pride ourselves on providing high-quality and patient-centered care all while striving to advance the field through research and educational initiatives. We are confident you will see our department stands as a beacon of excellence in anesthesiology here in New York City and throughout the country. We routinely train highly sought-after anesthesiologists who continue on to prestigious fellowships, research opportunities, and leadership positions within the field.
We are so excited you are interested in joining us and would love to answer any questions you have regarding the application process. You can reach us anytime at anes.request@gmail.com.
