NYU Grossman School of Medicine Program

The NYU Grossman School of Medicine Anesthesiology, Perioperative Care, and Pain Medicine Residency is dedicated to providing an environment that fosters high-quality residency training, exemplary patient care, and the stimulation and nurturance of professional and personal development. This three-year residency program, accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, prides itself on a high level of scholarship, independent thought, and clinical competence.

The residency offers a comprehensive didactic education coupled with opportunities to engage in basic and clinical research in various domains including patient outcomes, anesthesiology mechanisms, and pain management, among others. With a strong emphasis on the correlation between research and clinical practice management, residents are prepared for outstanding performance in in-training examinations and board certification.

Starting July 1, 2024, the program will accept 36 residents annually, offering placements across three tracks: Manhattan, Long Island, and Brooklyn, thus providing a broad range of patient care experiences and management practices.

The program structures its clinical anesthesiology training across three years, focusing on developing a sound foundation in general cases before delving into specialized rotations such as cardiothoracic anesthesia, neurosurgical anesthesia, and pain medicine, leading to handling more complex cases in the third year with elective rotation opportunities.

Significantly, the residency application process at NYU Langone does not support H-1B visa sponsorship but does offer J-1 sponsorship through the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).

The residency rotations provide in-depth training across a variety of subspecialties such as ambulatory, cardiothoracic, critical care, pediatric, regional, neurosurgical, obstetric anesthesiology, and pain medicine, ensuring a well-rounded experience in diverse settings.

Didactic training and research opportunities are an integral aspect of this residency program, with nearly 500 hours of annual conferences, seminars, case reviews, and lectures. Residents are encouraged to partake in research, with NIH-funded projects and opportunities for publications.

This residency program at NYU Grossman School of Medicine presents a robust training infrastructure with a strong focus on both clinical excellence and research, offering a holistic and enriching educational experience for aspiring anesthesiologists.
