Dept. of Anesthesiology

In addition to the residency program, the department offers fellowship positions in pediatric anesthesia.

Pediatric Anesthesia Fellowship:

The Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship at the University of New Mexico provides twelve months of subspecialty education and training in all aspects of pediatric anesthesiology. Dr. Joyce Phillips is the program director for the fellowship. This program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Subspecialty training is at the CA-IV level and begins after satisfactory completion of an ACGME-accredited residency in anesthesiology. Education and training concentrate on all phases of perioperative anesthesia care for patients undergoing both inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures, as well as for patients undergoing diagnostic and non-operative procedures outside of the operating room. The didactic program and clinical curriculum also include pediatric pain management, advanced life support and critical care of neonates, infants, children and adolescents. Trainees actively participate in division and departmental educational activities relevant to their training. Under faculty supervision, trainees assume graduated responsibility for instruction and supervision of medical students and junior residents assigned to the service. In addition, trainees are encouraged to participate in clinical and/or basic science research relevant to the discipline of pediatric anesthesiology.
