Faculty Development Resources

In the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Management, people are our most valuable asset.  We understand that investing in our faculty is important, so we devote time, energy and other resources to our current (and future) faculty.  This includes mentoring and coaching in topics such as research, educational techniques and resources, and other professional and personal development.  If you are interested in joining an energetic and growing group of academic anesthesiologists, please contact me or Dr. Kimatian with your CV and a brief statement of your goals.

Thank you for visiting.
