Part II: Research,
Teaching, and Clinical Contributions
A:
Narrative Report of Clinical Practice:
Brigham and Women’ Hospital:
As
a fellow in Obstetric anesthesia, I was a team leader in assigning day to day
clinical responsibilities to residents in the labor and delivery section as
well as operating room division. In
addition, I was actively involved in the provision of anesthesia care to high
risk obstetric patients as well as patients requiring In-vitro-fertilization.
At
the conclusion of obstetric anesthesia training, I was appointed as staff
anesthesiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Major responsibility includes provision of
anesthesia care (sub-specialty) to obstetric patients. Brigham and Women's
being a high risk obstetric referral center, a substantial number patients fall
into high risk category requiring anesthesia care during delivery. Recently, a
new dimension to obstetric anesthesia care has been added, which is providing
care to patients undergoing in-uterus fetal surgery.
In
addition to subspecialty care of obstetric anesthesia, a portion of time is
spent in providing anesthesia care in main operating rooms, which includes
general surgical, thoracic and vascular patients, as well to patients out side
of main operating room in areas such as in MRI and CT scan.
As
a member of transfusion committee, I was actively involved with other members
in revising and implementing several policies in compliance with JACHO to
enhance safety of transfusions in various circumstances. A protocol to
facilitate rapid delivery of blood products to the obstetric operating rooms
for hemorrhagic emergencies was facilitated during my tenure.
As a member of ‘Brigham and Women’s Physician Organization Recognition
Award Committee’, I was required to select the most highly qualified and
deserving candidate for an award in each category from several nominations
received.
As ‘Associate Clinical Director, I am anesthesiologist in-charge for 45
operating room locations being covered by residents, fellows and staff anesthesiologists.
The clinical duties include providing advice and backup where needed, and
generally the first person to be called upon when anesthesia problems occur. In
addition, it involves huge responsibility of coordinating surgeons, nurses,
anesthesiologists and technical force. Several times, it is also required to
intervene and prevent personality and management conflicts that are expected to
arise when managing such a large group of operating location personnel.
