About
The Anesthesiology Residency Program at Kendall Regional Medical Center was established in September 2015. We are an ACGME accredited community-based university affiliated program.
​
Although our program is less than 10 years old we have already built a tradition of excellence:
We have 100% fellowship placement for our residents all-time. We have sent residents to some of the most highly regarded programs in the country including Duke for Cardiac, Brigham and Women's for Critical Care, Dartmouth for Regional, University of Miami/Jackson for Cardiac and Pediatrics.
Four out of six of our residents scored in the top 10% on the ABA Basic Exam in 2024 and as a program scored two standard deviations above the national average.
​​
Our program features over 35 faculty members and seven clinical sites to provide excellent clinical and educational experiences. Among our faculty are Anesthesiologists with a variety of expertise, fellowship training, and interests that trained at some of the top institutions in the country such as Yale, Mass General, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Emory, Mount Sinai Hospital in NY, and Johns Hopkins University. Additionally, our faculty includes three surgeons with subspecialty training in Critical Care and Trauma and a PhD research director.
​
We offer training in a wide array of experiences across our seven clinical sites.
