Albany Medical College – Department of Anesthesiology The Department of Anesthesiology at Albany Medical College (AMC) is seeking fellowship-trained Obstetric Anesthesiologists at all ranks to join our obstetric anesthesia faculty team as we expand care of the obstetric population at our center. This is an excellent opportunity to practice in a collaborative, academically focused environment within the Capital Region’s only academic medical center and Level 1 trauma center. Albany Medical Center and its Obstetric Anesthesia program attained the prestigious recognition of SOAP Center of Excellence (COE) designation in 2016 and continues to be recognized by demonstrating excellence in obstetric anesthesia care.

Our practice includes both healthy parturients and medically complex patients, with opportunities to participate in anesthesia care for obstetric patients outside of the L&D suite (e.g., interventional radiology and general OR) for non-obstetric surgery in obstetric patients.

AMC has a very broad referral area and accepts all high-risk cases referred from many counties in NY as well as from eastern Vermont for our advanced high level of care.

Clinical Care – Provide safe, high-quality anesthesia care for parturients in inpatient and outpatient settings. We do antepartum OB anesthesia consults for high-risk cases which are sent to the OB anesthesia division by perinatal outreach / MFM. The clinical spectrum besides delivery includes antepartum non-obstetric surgery, ECV and cerclage placement.

Education – Deliver didactic and hands-on instruction for residents, medical students, and student nurse anesthetists.

Research – Participate in or initiate clinical research projects; scholarly activity is supported and encouraged.
