The UW Department of Anesthesiology offers advanced clinical and research training in a variety of fellowship programs. A carefully designed fellowship can enhance the academic environment of the department and positively impact the experience of residents at all levels of the program. We have structured our fellowships toward that goal, with individualized combinations of advanced clinical experience, basic science and clinical research, supervisory experience, and resident and student teaching.
