Perioperative Management includes patient care practices starting in the preoperative arena to the post-operative course. Residents rotate through preoperative clinic (PCC) and post anesthesia recovery units (PACU). See curriculum for further details.
In addition, with changing healthcare practices and insurance reimbursement schemes, the practice of Out of OR anesthesia has increased. Anesthesiologists are poised to take over management of these areas as they grow. As such, the UC San Diego perioperative team has been working diligently to ensure that trainees have the opportunity to gain experience and exposure to working in these areas and become well versed in overcoming the unique challenges that these specialty suites present.
