Anesthesiologists are physicians who complete a four-year college program, four years of graduate doctoral training, and four more years of anesthesiology residency.
At Duke, we apply our knowledge of medicine to fulfill our primary role in the operating room, which is not only to ensure your comfort during surgery, but also to make informed medical judgments to protect you.
Our role extends beyond the operating room and recovery room. We work in intensive care units to help restore critically ill patients to stable condition. In childbirth, we manage the care of two persons: we provide pain relief for the mother while managing the life functions of both the mother and the baby. We are also involved in pain management, including diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic problems.
