UPMC Medical Education Program
About This Program
The UPMC Combined Pediatric Anesthesia Program offers residents the opportunity to train in both pediatrics and anesthesiology. Upon completion, residents are dually trained and board eligible in both specialties. Our residents are exposed to diverse patients and a broad array of pathologies. Patient care and education take place from the community outpatient clinics to hospitals that provide world class complex care. The curriculum is rigorous, while responsive to resident needs.
