Anesthesiology Training Verifications

Anesthesiology Training Verifications

The Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine charges for verifications for internship and residency, regional fellowship, and our ACGME fellowships** which include pain fellowship (NOT acute pain fellowship), critical care fellowship, cardiothoracic fellowship, and OB fellowship. The funds collected for verifications will be put towards the Wellness and Resilience Fund for Anesthesiology, which supports initiatives focused on improving resident well-being and resilience during their training. The total amount charged depends on various factors. Please see the outline below for more information.

**If you are requesting a verification for a fellowship that is not listed, please see the associated webpage here and contact the administrator.
