Vital Times 2022 - 37

We are excited to partner with the Stanford University
Department of Anesthesia where our residents now have
the opportunity to rotate in the Cardiovascular OR. Our
residents continue to complete rotations at Rady Children's
Hospital, UCSD, Kaiser San Diego, and LA County.
Health Sciences (USUHS), attending faculty development
and outreach courses, and mentoring medical students.
USUHS is unique among medical schools in that it
requires all medical students to complete a core clerkship
in anesthesiology. The residents precept medical
students in the performance of airway management and
anesthesia, ensuring that all graduating medical students
have exposure to the basics of anesthesiology, as they
may find themselves serving overseas or in a remote area
as the sole medical provider.

Community and
International Partnerships
In addition to their clinical obligations at Balboa,
residents and faculty have the opportunity to foster
partnerships in the community. At Student STEM Days
during San Diego Fleet Week, residents interacted with
local children demonstrating the technical capabilities
and equipment of Navy medicine. This included how
fleet surgical teams set up mobile operating rooms
with the ability to perform complex surgeries in
austere environments as well as hands-on ultrasound
demonstrations.
Residents and faculty also participated in international
humanitarian missions, deploying aboard the USNS
MERCY as part of Pacific Partnership 2022 and traveling
to Mexico with the Smiles International Foundation.
Our faculty and residents continue to expand their
affiliation with the Uniformed Services University of the
Journal club and dinner
Looking Forward
After decades of learning to adapt to the everchanging
environments faced by forward deployed
anesthesiologists, the department has done a wonderful
job adapting to the current challenges faced at home.
The program will continue to train and graduate the
next generation of Navy Anesthesiologists who will
serve in Military Medical Treatment Facilities and will be
capable of rapid worldwide deployment in support of
humanitarian and combat operations.
