Program Summary
Anesthesiology as a course involves the study of anesthesia, pain management, and perioperative medicine. It focuses on preparing medical students or residents to safely administer anesthesia and manage the physiological responses of patients undergoing surgery or other medical procedures. The course covers a broad range of topics, including pharmacology of anesthetic agents, airway management, patient monitoring, resuscitation techniques, and management of critical care and chronic pain. Students are trained to assess patients preoperatively, provide anesthesia during operations, and ensure effective post-operative care. Practical training, simulations, and clinical rotations in operating rooms, intensive care units, and pain clinics are key components of the course, allowing students to gain hands-on experience. The course emphasizes both technical skills and decision-making under pressure, preparing students to work as part of a surgical or emergency care team.
