Anesthesiology team members at Moffitt

Our mission is to improve the perioperative care of the patient with cancer and to advance education and research in the field of onco-anesthesiology.

Program Overview

The Onco-Anesthesiology Fellowship Program aims to provide unique and advanced training to anesthesiologists in the perioperative care of patients undergoing cancer-related diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in a variety of clinical settings. Participants will obtain in-depth knowledge of cancer therapies, both surgical and nonsurgical, and their impact on anesthetic management. The fellowship program is designed to allow for the development of expertise in clinical care delivery, education, and research in onco-anesthesiology. The graduating fellow will be well-suited to lead future advancements in these areas.
