The first academic Department of Anesthesiology in the Southeast was established in 1937 in Augusta Georgia at the University of Georgia School of Medicine by Perry Volpitto M.D. The department was developed when there were only 400 full time anesthesiologists in the U. S., and was one of only four major training programs for post graduate training in anesthesiology. The department continued to grow under the direction of Dr. Zack Gramling and Dr. Robert Crumrine. Our current Chairman is Dr. Alvin Head, a nationally recognized leader in anesthesiology who came to us from Harvard University. Renamed the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia, it has grown to include 26 full time clinical faculty, 3 full time research faculty, 34 residents, and a Pain Fellowship. We manage 28 operating rooms in two hospitals, one of which is our nationally acclaimed Children’s Medical Center. Our hospitals include representation from all the surgical subspecialties, which allows our residents a broad education and excellent experience in a wide variety of general and regional anesthetic techniques. We invite you to browse our web-site and find out why our department offers outstanding opportunities for both resident and attending physicians who enjoy a challenging and exciting academic environment.
