providing them with evidence-based medicine discussions, lectures and mentorship, and join research projects.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">About The Center<\/h2>\n<p>The \u00a0Department of Anesthesiology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC is building on a rich history of anesthesiology and critical care innovation by establishing its <strong>Vladimir Zelman, MD, PhD\u00a0Center for Distance Education, Learning and Science<\/strong>.\u00a0 The Department\u2019s foundation is based at the Keck Medical Center of University of Southern California (USC) and the Los Angeles General Medical Center where anesthetics were administered from 1878 onwards with no formal regulation until the Department was established in approximately 1917 with the first appointment of an Anesthesiologist in Charge in 1924.<\/p>\n<p>The Department is home to Dr. Arthur Guedel (clinical stages of ether anesthesia), Dr. Harry Low (closed circuit anesthesia), Sim One (the first anesthesia simulator), and the Aerojet General Corporation (an early aerospace pioneer). The Los Angeles General Medical Center is legitimately the home of Critical Care Medicine. Many world-known clinical scientists in critical care worked here, such as Dr. William Shoemaker, Dr. Max Harry Weil. Dr. Philip Lumb, was previous Editor-in Chief for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.journals.elsevier.com\/journal-of-critical-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of Critical Care<\/a>.
