Welcome to the Department of Anesthesiology

Our hospital is a County facility affiliated with UCLA. We have a devoted faculty committed to providing the best possible care for our patients together with the finest teaching for our trainees.

We have a four-year categorical residency program consisting of 35 Anesthesiology residents (9 PGY-1s, 9, PGY-2s, 9 PGY-3s, and 8 PGY-4s). The hands-on experience for our residents is second to none while our didactic academic program provides a solid foundation for the board examinations and beyond.

These are exciting times for the Anesthesiology Department at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. We have moved into a new building housing 16 new operating rooms with all the latest amenities and equipment. The hospital, along with the Department of Health Services implemented a new electronic medical record system on November 1st 2014 and it has had positive outcomes.

I encourage you to take a good look at Harbor-UCLA if you are considering training in anesthesiology.

Composed of 18 Anesthesiology attendings, 35 Anesthesiology resident physicians, 1 Regional and Acute Pain Management Anesthesiology fellow, 1 Trauma Anesthesiology fellow, and 13 CRNA’s, the department is dedicated to providing a wide range of clinical anesthesia services in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
