Residency News

We are calling on all alumni and current department physician faculty to nominate our UPMC Anesthesiology Residency Program (listed as "UPMC Medical Education") on Doximity’s annual Nomination Survey, a platform partnered with US News and World Report.

Drs. Elaina Anglin, Dylan Bard, John Driggers, Jason Greib, Nathan Hyre, Brett Marshall, and Megan Turner were honored for their exceptional scores on this year’s American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) In-Training Examination (ITE), placing in the top 5% nationally.

We matched 23 top students (18 categorical, three advanced, one Panther Research Scholar, and one combined anesthesiology/pediatrics resident) from the 1,417 candidates who applied to our program.

An A&A Practice article bridges the fields of anesthesiology and pediatric chronic pain management by demonstrating how an anesthetic agent traditionally used for sedation and induction can be repurposed for analgesia in complex pain syndromes.

Congratulations to Drs. Brendan Lynch, Hannah Campion, and Benjamin Genovese on their well-deserved appointments!

Mark your calendars for a St. Patrick’s Day-themed evening at the 5th Annual Opioid Epidemic Awareness Fundraiser on Saturday, March 22, 2025, from 6–10 PM at the stunning Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
