Mission:
Kettering Health's Anesthesiology Program has a single purpose: to provide the best possible peri-operative care for our community by educating residents and medical students in the specialty of anesthesiology. We are committed to providing a comprehensive and rigorous curriculum that fosters clinical excellence, critical thinking, and compassionate patient care. Through a supportive learning environment and hands-on experience, we aim to produce well-rounded anesthesiologists who are leaders in their field, dedicated to patient safety, and committed to continuous learning and professional growth. We intend to mold anesthesiologists who are not only clinically competent but also outstanding caregivers, ethical leaders, and active contributors to the communities they serve. We believe that through this holistic approach, we can enhance the quality of anesthesia care, improve patient outcomes, and make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and our community.
