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.

Our application process is through the AAMC's Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). This year we will be using the Residency Central Application as a supplement to ERAS. The CentralApp was started as a free alternative to ERAS in plastic surgery 5 years ago and it is now used specialty wide.

We are piloting this platform with the hope that in future years we can remove the financial barriers created by progressive application fee structures of ERAS. As you will see from the questions, CentralApp also promotes holistic application review by focusing on quality application content rather than quantity. There is no cost for you to use CentralApp.

Upon accessing CentralApp, you will be instructed to create a secure account that will be verified by your medical school dean's office, who will submit your transcripts and MSPE directly through the portal. Letters of recommendation should be requested through CentralApp in order for you to have a complete application for us to review. The Match will remain with the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).
