Message From Our Chair


Welcome to the Department of Anesthesiology website. There is a wealth of information about the department available on this site. No matter if you are a prospective student, resident, fellow, faculty or patient we hope you will enjoy your visit. There are links to other parts of the University of Rochester and the larger anesthesiology community that you may find interesting. The department has just undergone an extensive strategic planning process and is well positioned to make significant advances in patient care, education and research over the next five years. The motto of the University of Rochester – Meliora, aptly describes our department – “Always better”.
