Research

The University of Arizona Department of Anesthesiology performs clinical care, teaching, and research at four facilities: University Medical Center (UMC), Southern Arizona Veterans Administration Health Care Center (SAVAHCS), University Physicians Hospital at Kino (UPHK), and the University Physicians Surgicenter.  UMC, located on the main campus of the University of Arizona, is a 400-bed tertiary care hospital and Level-1 Trauma Center that draws patient referrals from throughout the Southwest. 

The Department of Anesthesiology employs 30 full-time faculty, many of whom are involved in either basic science or clinical research efforts.  Our research programs are supported by the NIH, as well as numerous private industry sources.  These programs produce a large number of peer-reviewed papers, presentations at national and international meetings, and visiting professorships.
