The Anesthesiology Residency at Mayo Clinic in Arizona provides an outstanding clinical anesthesia experience that can be tailored to meet individual educational and career goals. You receive thorough preparation for board certification in anesthesiology, extensive didactic training, subspecialty anesthesiology training, and clinical research opportunities.

Along with the growth of the institution, the residency has expanded to include up to seven residents per class with a close-knit, collegial, and supportive culture. 

Highlights of the program include:

• A small program size that allows program leaders to take a very individualized approach to your education and clinical experience
• A robust curriculum including options to rotate at other Mayo Clinic campuses and ample research time
• A practice model that facilitates a flexible, humane call schedule
• Residents' schedules, along with the program and institutional support, allow you to have a very healthy work-life balance

The Anesthesiology Residency offers six categorical positions, which combine a one-year Transitional Year Residency (PGY-1) with a three-year Anesthesiology Residency (PGY-2 through PGY-4). There is no separate application for the preliminary year.

The Anesthesiology Residency offers one advanced position (PGY-2 through PGY-4) for candidates who choose to complete their internship elsewhere.

There are several fellowship opportunities at Mayo Clinic Arizona, including a one-year accredited fellowship in Pain Medicine, a one-year accredited Anesthesia Critical Care Fellowship, and a non-ACGME fellowship in Liver Transplant Anesthesiology.
