Anesthesiologist

Albany, NY

Weekday operating-room anesthesia at a Veterans teaching hospital in New York's Capital Region, with after-hours call taken from home.

The Community

Albany is New York's capital city and the hub of the Capital Region, with the cultural life of a state capital and a cost of living well below downstate. Saratoga Springs, the Adirondacks, the Catskills, the Berkshires and Lake George are all within an easy drive for weekends, and New York City is about two and a half hours away by Amtrak along the Hudson. Neighborhoods such as Delmar, Loudonville, Niskayuna, Guilderland and Saratoga County offer highly rated schools and short commutes.

Getting Here

Albany International Airport (ALB) – approximately 9 miles / 20 minutes from the facility, with nonstop service to major hubs including Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington DC and Florida.

The Samuel S. Stratton VA Medical Center is a teaching hospital serving Veterans across northeastern New York, western New England and the Hudson Valley.
