The Discipline of Anesthesia at Memorial University offers numerous opportunities for rural and smaller city anesthesia experiences in the province. Residents have completed electives in Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor and Carbonear in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Saint John and Fredericton in New Brunswick. These are opportunities for more independent practice, as well as chances to see unfamiliar places.

In St. John’s, our capital and largest city, we have 44 anesthesiologists and 24 residents supported by anesthesia assistants. These specialists provide tertiary care services for the entire province. Our St. John’s facilities include two general adult hospitals, with one designated as the cardiac and trauma centre; a women and children’s hospital for pediatric and obstetric/gynecological care; and a new mental health centre soon to open.
