ANS 415 - Anesthesiology Acting Internship

During your Acting Internship in Anesthesiology, you will be working one-on-one with a senior anesthesiology resident in operating rooms and procedural sites throughout the hospital. You will be directly assisting in providing general anesthesia and monitored anesthesia care to a wide variety of patients. You will be expected to be an active participant in care and will be given the opportunity to practice life-saving skills including mask ventilation, oral/nasal airway placement, intravenous catheter placement, laryngeal mask airway placement, and endotracheal intubation. You may also have the opportunity to perform or assist with advanced skills such as arterial line, central line, or epidural catheter placement. The skills you gain during this clerkship are broadly applicable to a wide variety of medical fields, but are particularly suited to those medical students who intend to pursue a residency in anesthesiology.
