Obstetric Anesthesiologist

The Department of Anesthesiology at Albany Medical College (AMC) is seeking fellowship-trained Obstetric Anesthesiologists at all ranks to join our obstetric anesthesia faculty team as we expand care of the obstetric population at our center. This is an excellent opportunity to practice in a collaborative, academically focused environment within the Capital Region’s only academic medical center and Level 1 trauma center. Albany Medical Center and its Obstetric Anesthesia program attained the prestigious recognition of SOAP Center of Excellence (COE) designation in 2016 and continues to be recognized by demonstrating excellence in obstetric anesthesia care.

About the Role

Our practice includes both healthy parturients and medically complex patients, with opportunities to participate in anesthesia care for obstetric patients outside of the L&D suite (e.g., interventional radiology and general OR) for non-obstetric surgery in obstetric patients.

The delivery rates at our institution are approximately 2500 annually and more than 50% of our patient population are high-risk and MFM cases. AMC has a very broad referral area and accepts all high-risk cases referred from many counties in NY as well as from eastern Vermont for our advanced high level of care.

Responsibilities

We do antepartum OB anesthesia consults for high-risk cases which are sent to the OB anesthesia division by perinatal outreach/MFM. The clinical spectrum besides delivery includes antepartum non-obstetric surgery, ECV and cerclage placement.  
• Education – Deliver didactic and hands-on instruction for residents, medical students, and student nurse anesthetists.
• Research – Participate in or initiate clinical research projects; scholarly activity is supported and encouraged.
• Collaboration – Work closely with obstetricians, OB residents, L&D nurses, and other perioperative team members to optimize patient outcomes.
• Mentorship – Provide guidance and support for trainees and junior faculty in professional and academic growth.

Qualifications

• MD or DO degree (or equivalent)
• Completion of an ACGME-accredited Anesthesiology residency
• Fellowship training in Obstetric Anesthesiology (required)
• Eligible for New York State medical licensure
