Global Anesthesia Fellowship

We are pleased to announce the new Stanford Anesthesia Fellowship in Global Health and are recruiting applicants. The program is designed to increase the fellows' knowledge regarding the complex issues contributing to global health disparities. The ideal fellow will have plans to incorporate the knowledge and skill set gained over the fellowship year to improve peri-operative healthcare delivery in low resource settings. As opposed to service oriented or volunteer mission trips, focus is on capacity building through advancement of global health research and educational partnerships.  This postgraduate fellowship after residency is tailored to the individual physician's background and goals but has several core components: 

1. Up to 12 weeks working in a medically underserved low or middle income country.


2. Scholarship project in global health focused on improving infrastructure through improvements in medical education or by forming and answering an appropriate research question.


3. A core curriculum including lectures and seminars throughout the year available via Stanford's Center for Innovation in Global Health (http://globalhealth.stanford.edu/) and the Department of Anesthesia.


4. Clinical work as an anesthesiology attending in the Stanford Operating Room suite one day a week with 1-2 calls per month to gain experience in managing add/on and emergency cases.
