Pediatric Anesthesiology (Clinical Elective)

2 units

The primary goal of this rotation is to gain exposure to the field of anesthesiology within the pediatric patient population. This elective provides the opportunity to take part in anesthetics across the range of surgeries and procedures, patient age, and acuity. With the entire elective taking place at St. Louis Children's Hospital, learners are able to observe the differences in physiology, medical/surgical problems, and patient care considerations in pediatric patients.
