Welcome from the Recruiting Director

Wayne Jacobsen, MD

Wayne Jacobsen, MD
Director, Residency Program

Congratulations on selecting anesthesiology as your area of future medical practice! We are pleased that you are considering the University of Arizona Department of Anesthesiology for your training.

The University offers excellent training in anesthesiology. We have been extremely impressed with the caliber of our incoming and graduating residents during our tenure with the University. Our residents are well trained in clinical anesthesiology, as they are exposed to a tremendous variety of cases from basic orthopedics to pediatric cardiothoracic cases to organ transplantation. The caseload at our facility continues to increase, and our department has met this challenge with ease.

The Chairman, Dr. Barker, and the faculty have been very responsive to the residents' requests and needs for change. This is evident with the didactic schedule, which emphasizes case conferences, faculty and guest lectures. It can also be seen with the change in resident call schedule in which the first call resident (CA-2 or CA-3) begins weekday call duties at 15:00 rather than 7am. Our residents are never asked to "hang around" the day after call nor do we schedule lectures on Saturdays.

Please enjoy browsing the website, which has been recently updated. If you have any questions about the program, please contact our Residency Coordinator, Trish Angiulo at 520 626 7141 or you can e-mail us at resprog@u.arizona.edu.

Thanks!

 

Welcome from the Chief Residents

We would like to welcome you to the University of Arizona Anesthesiology training program.  Our department serves the city of Tucson, and we are the only Level One trauma center in Southern Arizona.  In addition to a multitude of complex cases, we have one of the fastest growing transplant programs in the country.  Our cardiothoracic teams provide care for a wide range of patients including bypass, artificial devices, and complex pediatric repairs.

Our Acute Pain Service utilizes the latest in imaging technologies in placing and managing peripheral nerve blocks and catheters.  With a high volume of orthopedic trauma and sports medicine procedures our skills are quickly honed.  In addition, we have an emerging Chronic Pain Service providing pharmacologic and interventional modalities.

This program has a history of graduating residents that are extremely well qualified to care for complicated patients.  Recent graduates have entered Cardiothoracic, Obstetric, Pain and Pediatric fellowships, as well as academic and private practice anesthesia groups.  We are proud to serve this wonderfully diverse community, and are honored to care for people of Southern Arizona.
