Residency Program

Categorical Internship

The Department of Anesthesiology is pleased to provide an internship program for a select number of applicants to our residency program to fulfill the Clinical Base Year requirement of the American Board of Anesthesiology. Anesthesiology faculty coordinate this popular transitional year in collaboration with many other departments within Duke University Medical Center. The internship includes rotations designed to provide essential background for subsequent training in anesthesiology. Included among these are experiences in general internal medicine, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, pediatrics, general surgery and emergency medicine. Interns also rotate through the pediatric and surgical intensive care units. Our interns also enjoy elective experiences in Duke’s hyperbaric chamber and many other locations in the medical center. We are excited to provide this internship experience for individuals who wish to receive the entirety of their training at Duke.

The application process for the anesthesiology internship is the same as for the residency. We currently have eight categorical positions that include the internship (PGY-1 through PGY-4) and six positions that only include anesthesia training (PGY-2 through PGY-4).

Preliminary internships in the Departments of Medicine and Surgery are also available. Interested applicants should contact the respective Departments for application materials.
