Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine

Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at MD Anderson Cancer Center is made up of a talented group of physicians, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and others dedicated to providing the very best anesthesia and pain medicine care for our cancer patients. Our department team focuses on excellence in all areas of our practice, clinical care, research and education.

We provide over 25,000 anesthetics per year. Our research mission continues to grow, and we rank in the top 15 of all anesthesia departments for NIH support. We look forward to the generation of new knowledge that flows from our talented team and are especially pleased with advances being made in pain, neuroscience and proteomics research. We offer clinical and research fellowships in cancer anesthesia for interested physicians-in-training and add a second year of research training for selected pain medicine fellows. In association with affiliated institutions, we currently provide unique training opportunities for resident physicians and SRNAs rotating with our anesthesiology team.
