A Healthy Learning Environment

Allegheny Health Network fosters an environment of interaction that is conducive for training young physicians. The anesthesiology faculty at all hospitals aspires to create a friendly learning environment, where each and every anesthesiology resident becomes a part of the "family". The size of the program allows for the faculty to get to know each resident, allowing them to personalize the residents learning, based on their individual strengths and weaknesses. Each resident can be assigned to a mentor who will act as advisor/counselor during the course of the residents training. 

The residency has a Wellness Program that consists of monthly lectures/activities directed to promoting wellness and preventing burn-out, as well as a resident-led Wellness Committee that regularly plans resident events outside of clinical duties.
