On March 15, 2024, the Department of Anesthesiology welcomed 22 new residents, including three graduates from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
This diverse group of residents represents medical schools across twelve states and three countries and is poised to make a positive impact in our department by bringing a rich tapestry of experiences, knowledge, and skills to our team.
The incoming class includes:
- 20 categorical residents who will begin internships here this summer (July 2024)
- 1 advanced-track resident (joining as a CA1 in July 2025)
- 1 ASAP research track resident
“I am truly thrilled to welcome this exceptional group of residents to our department,” said Residency Program Director, Allison Mitchell, MD. “Their diverse backgrounds and experiences will undoubtedly enhance the learning environment for all of us, and I am confident that they will contribute significantly to our department’s mission of providing outstanding patient care, education, and research.”
