Departmental scholarly activity
As the only academic medical center in the state of Mississippi, our department works tirelessly in the area of anesthesiology research. We routinely have strong resident, nurse anesthetist, and faculty participation on the state and national level at numerous academic meetings and conferences every year. We would like to recognize and thank our physician scientists and nurse anesthetists who have published research and case reports recently. There are also innumerable grand rounds, conference presentations, and ongoing research projects that are too many to mention. Please take the time to read the following publications and book chapters and support each other in the research and scholarly activities!
