Our training program focuses on the assessment of, consultation for and preparation of patients for anesthesia; relief and prevention of pain during and following surgical, therapeutic and diagnostic procedures.<\/p>\n<p>We are fortunate to have two equally large in-patient clinical sites on our Health Sciences Campus as well as an outpatient surgical facility. Our residents see a broad variety of surgical services and a diverse patient population. Our county facility houses a burn unit and is the busiest level one trauma centers in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n                          <\/div>\n          \n                      <div class=\"image-container\">\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img\n                            data-src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/anesthesiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/06\/Residency-Thumbnail.jpg\"\n          data-srcset=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/anesthesiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/06\/Residency-Thumbnail.jpg 768w\"          data-sizes=\"(min-width:1200px) 75vw, (min-width:768px) 83vw, 100vw\"          class=\"lazyload\"\n        \n        alt=\"Overview Thumbnail\"\n        \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n  \n\n<\/div>\n\n                              <a onclick=\"event.preventDefault()\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V3vxjJ5ubP8\" data-lity aria-label=\"Preparing the anesthesiologists of tomorrow with a thorough, experiential curriculum, Play video in lightbox\" class=\"play-video\">\n                  <svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\"\n\t viewBox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\">\n<rect fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" fill=\"#990000\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\"\/>\n<polygon fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" fill=\"#FFFFFF\" points=\"32,25 22,32 22,18 \"\/>\n<\/svg>\n                <\/a>\n                          <\/div>\n          \n        <\/div>\n\n      \n    \n    <\/div>\n\n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text light-gray\"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <h2 class=\"line\" style=\"text-align: center\">Application<\/h2>\n<p>The Anesthesiology Residency Program is a Categorical Residency Program, annually accepting applications for 18 PGY-1 positions.<\/p>\n<p>All prospective applicants wishing to apply to our program must apply through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aamc.org\/services\/eras\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS)<\/a>.

categorical residency program and accepted our first four-year class. Each year, our residency program receives more than 500 applications for 18 Post Graduate Year 1 positions.<\/p>\n<p>Interns have rotations at both Los Angeles General Medical Center and Keck Hospital of USC. They move through surgical specialties, anesthesia, ICU rotations (2), emergency medicine, night float, heart failure or cardiology, research and vacation blocks. Surgical specialties may include orthopaedics, hepatobiliary, urology, vascular, plastics, transplant, ENT and colorectal surgery. During their anesthesia rotation, interns will become oriented to their future specialty.<\/p>\n<p>For the first few months of the program, interns will attend Surgical Skills Boot Camp learning basic surgical skills such as surgical airway, central line access, chest tube insertion, tying knots and laparoscopy skills. During the course of the year, they will attend anesthesia didactics every Friday. These lectures will introduce basic anesthesia concepts and provide opportunity for skills training in airway, sterile gown and gloving and ultrasound.<\/p>\n<p>Categorical interns have a unique opportunity to become acquainted with the hospital, surgical staff, anesthesia faculty and fellow peers. The department hosts outings in which interns have the opportunity to meet staff and current residents. They also have time together as a class every Friday at anesthesia lecture. All of these opportunities will help transition to their future residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-2-xu8745KYnA\" aria-controls=\"section-1-2-xu8745KYnA\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">PGY-1 Rotation Schedule<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-2-xu8745KYnA\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-2-xu8745KYnA\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n        \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 237px\"><strong>Clinical Base Year Rotations<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 63px\"><strong>Year<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79px\"><strong># of Weeks<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 237px\">General Surgery<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 63px\">PGY-1<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79px\">30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 237px\">Surgical Critical Care<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 63px\">PGY-1<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79px\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 237px\">Emergency Medicine<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 63px\">PGY-1<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79px\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 237px\">Anesthesia<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 63px\">PGY-1<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79px\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 237px\">Medicine<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 63px\">PGY-1<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 79px\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-3-xu8745KYnA\" aria-controls=\"section-1-3-xu8745KYnA\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">CA-1 &#8211;
