Spearheaded by the tireless efforts of Dr. Tetsuro Sakai, this journal highlights the innovative clinical, educational, research, and service activities of our department. Fiscal year 2016 has been a time of tremendous change and opportunity for us. Under the expert direction of Dr. Mark Hudson, our clinical activities attained even greater efficiency as we maintained our volume of about 300,000 cases for the year. We also welcomed the UPMC Horizon practice into our group and celebrated the appointment of Timothy Lyons as Senior CRNA Director for the UPMC system. Dr. Stephen Esper spearheaded the successful adoption of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols throughout the system. Under the leadership of Dr. David Metro, our educational efforts have been widely recognized. Our innovative Clinical Base Year Anesthesiology rotation, under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Sakai, resulted in every intern attending HOWARD B. GUTSTEIN, MD the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ annual meeting. Peter and Eva Safar Professor and My first ASA meeting as Chair was spent attending a Chair, Department of Anesthesiology record number of resident and medical student research presentations. Later in the year, our residents swept all of the first place awards at the Pennsylvania Anesthesiology Residents’ Research Conference. The year culminated with a spectacular performance in the residency match. We continue to set the standard for academic and clinical accomplishments by anesthesiology residents. Under the expert guidance of Drs. Jonathan Waters and Yan Xu, our clinical and basic research programs continue to be among the finest in the world. We are one of only two anesthesiology departments in the nation to have multiple NIH T32 training grants. Our mission trips remain extremely popular with both the residents and the faculty and local community service activities by department members are many and vibrant. I would like to thank all our department staff, faculty, residents, and fellows for their
