The Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Management values the opportunity to offer an introduction to clinical anesthesiology during our elective medical student rotations.  For more than fifty years, the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Management at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas has been committed to the education and training of medical students and residents.  Each month, medical students from around the country engage our staff, residents, and faculty in the science and art of the practice of anesthesiology.  Our mission to provide excellent patient care, practice-enhancing research, and superior student and resident training has made our department one of the best anesthesiology departments in the country.
