Clinical and basic science research are fundamental components of an academic anesthesiology program. At the Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine at KU Medical Center, we are building a collaborative and innovative research environment designed to support learners at every stage of training.

Whether you are a medical student exploring academic medicine, a resident developing a scholarly focus, or a fellow advancing specialized expertise, our department offers meaningful opportunities to engage in high-impact research. Trainees work closely with experienced faculty mentors on projects that span perioperative medicine, acute and chronic pain, critical care, and obstetric anesthesiology, all with a shared goal of improving patient outcomes.

The Anesthesiology Research Committee (ARC) serves as the foundation of our research infrastructure, providing comprehensive support across all phases of the research process, including study design, regulatory guidance, data management, biostatistics, and manuscript development. This structure allows trainees to focus on learning, discovery, and academic productivity.

With a rapidly expanding research portfolio and a strong commitment to mentorship, our department empowers trainees to present at national meetings, publish their work, and build a competitive academic foundation for future careers.

Join a department where your curiosity is supported, your contributions are valued, and your research can make a lasting impact.
