Diversity and complexity characterize our program. Interesting? You bet!

Do we provide advanced service to our community, with subspecialties? Yes... we have them all, plus some - like transplant and trauma. Helping to close your first tracheoesophageal fistula is exciting, but by your fifth procedure, you'll be ready to help correct a Tetralogy of Fallot, or do a celiac plexus block in the Pain Clinic. And when you're ready, our Fellowship training in Critical Care is excellent.

Time for fun? No problem! Each area of Brooklyn has unique offerings - The Rockaways for beach and water sports, downtown for the opera and ballet... and the Brooklyn Museum has a greater collection than almost any museum in the world (except for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is only minutes away in Manhattan). You can eat at the River Cafe, stroll on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, pretend you're in Russia at Brighton Beach, ride the Cyclone at Coney Island, and get married at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Come see what we have to offer.

Dept. of Anesthesiology

Welcome

The Department of Anesthesiology of the SUNY Downstate Medical Center is widely known for its clinical care and training in all aspects of the specialty including cardiothoracic anesthesia, obstetric anesthesia, neurosurgical anesthesia, critical care, and pain-management.  The Anesthesiology residency program is one of the country's largest, with over 60 residents and a dynamic group of faculty physicians based primarily at four sites: SUNY Downstate University Hospital of Brooklyn, Kings County Hospital Center, Long Island College Hospital, and Lutheran Medical Center.

This site is being designed to serve as a supplemental information source for visitors and interested applicants, as well as an educational resource for SUNY medical students, residents, nurse anesthetists, and faculty. We hope to be fully functional in the next few weeks as content is gradually uploaded.

Feel free to contact Dr. Karl Coloma or any member of the WIRED team through our contact list for content contributions and suggestions.
