ANESTHESIOLOGY RESIDENCY
Unique Learning Opportunities

The Department of Anesthesiology has collaborated with The University of
Tennessee's Haslam College of Business to offer two unique experiences,
both clinically and educationally.

Daniel R. Bustamante, MD Resident Leadership Series

This series was designed based on The University of Tennessee's Physician Leadership Academy, which
provides physicians who aspire to be part of the leadership team with the skills needed for advancement.
The curriculum consists of 12 seminars delivered quarterly over the course of three years and covers
topics such as healthcare policy, finance, leadership style and skills, conflict and communication,
influencing and negotiating skills, and leading change.
In an effort to foster interdepartmental collaboration, residents from the departments of Surgery, OB/GYN
and Radiology also participate.
Perioperative Medicine Fellowship

In addition to advancing their clinical practice related to the non-surgical care of
patients from the time surgery is considered through full recovery, the fellow
completes the Physician Executive MBA (PEMBA) program through The University of
Tennessee's Haslam College of Business. The PEMBA program is a pre-eminent,
nationally ranked MBA program exclusively for physicians seeking leadership,
management and business skills. With regard to advancing their clinical practice,
fellows can enrich any aspect of clinical practice via a customized curriculum,
including advanced regional anesthesia and echocardiography.

Pain Medicine Fellowship

The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Tennessee Graduate School of
Medicine (UTGSM) now offers a Pain Medicine Fellowship. The new training program is
ACGME-accredited and designed to qualify anesthesiologists for specialty certification in
