Scholarly Activity
Published on Monday, December 30, 2024
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 who have published research and case reports for the 2023-2024 academic year. 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!Suwarna Anand
