Message from the Chairman
Welcome to the Department of Anesthesiology at Louisiana State University Health Sciences
Center.
Our department traces its origins to Charity Hospital, founded in 1736 as the oldest public hospital in North America. As one of the earliest training programs for anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists in the Unites States, we continue to thrive through exceptional clinical care and education. Our primary training site, the state-of-the-art University Medical Center, is an internationally recognized trauma center that serves a diverse population with complex medical conditions. Additional training locations include the New Orleans Veterans Administration Hospital and Children's Hospital of New Orleans.
Our residency program provides exceptional mentorship and training, equipping graduates to become adaptable anesthesia consultants in an ever-evolving medical landscape. Our faculty members offer a comprehensive education that enhances residents' competitiveness for fellowships and employment opportunities. We strongly encourage participation in clinical research projects under faculty mentorship, leading to publications that further strengthen our residents' expertise and recognition in the field.
A diverse array of educational activities complements our residents' clinical training. Faculty-led weekly lectures cover a broad spectrum of anesthesia topics, while Grand Rounds, morbidity and mortality conferences, and problem-based learning discussions provide additional learning opportunities. Furthermore, LSUHSC'S advanced simulation center offers hands-on training in critical technical skills such as regional anesthesia, fiberoptic intubation, and central venous catheter placement.
Beyond training, New Orleans offers a vibrant cultural experience, with world-renowned music, cuisine, and annual festivals.
We invite you to explore our program, connect with our faculty and residents, and consider joining our dynamic team.
Richard M. Pino, MD, PhD, FCCM
Professor and Department Head
