Raising the Bar

A robust Department of Anesthesiology and its contributions toward the clinical, educational and research missions are vital for the success of the University of Mississippi Medical Center. I come to UMMC with many years of experience in academic medicine at some of the leading institutions in the nation, including the University of North Carolina where I served as the Vice Chair of Education in the Department of Anesthesiology for over 10 years. I am honored to have been selected to serve in the role of anesthesiology chair and am looking forward to helping create a nurturing environment that fosters excellence in patient-centered care, education, scholarship and physician well-being.

Pain management clinic new addition to Sanderson Tower

Monday, February 20, 2023

For children and adolescents with chronic pain, the pediatric pain clinic at Children’s of Mississippi can provide relief through multidisciplinary care. Strategies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and physical therapy can help children miss fewer days of school and lead more active lives.

2023 Anesthesiology residency and fellowship matches

We are thrilled to have successfully matched eight incoming PGY-1 interns, two PGY-2/CA-1s and fellows for the pain and cardiac fellowships. They will all be starting in our department in July!

Showing our creative side

In this newer section of the newsletter, we are "showing our creative side" as part of the our wellness program. We encourage anesthesia faculty, CRNAs, residents, anesthesia technicians and administrative staff to submit their artwork (paintings with descriptions), music interests (with narrative and photos), photography (with comments), poetry or small narratives (less than one page).

Where are they now?

The Department of Anesthesiology has always had such wonderful people who have contributed to make it what it is today. We would like to know what some of our colleagues and friends who have moved on are doing now and how UMMC has played a role in their careers and lives.

Congratulations!

Our department is full of wonderful and engaging faculty, staff and trainees who are being recognized on campus, in our community and at the national level for their outstanding work and character. Each issue of the newsletter we will recognize awards and achievements of members of the department.

Meet our residents and fellows

We have fantastic residents and fellows in our department. A few will be featured in each newsletter. Please take the time to learn more about them!
