Overview

Overview

The Cleveland Clinic Perioperative Medicine fellowship is an anesthesiology subspecialty program designed to equip fellows with experience and knowledge in the current landscape of perioperative medicine with exposure to the navigation of quality, safety, management, and leadership in perioperative services including surgery specific pathways and enhanced recovery after surgery protocols.

Perioperative Medicine is a rapidly growing field in anesthesia that allows emphasis on population health and value care by focusing on long-term outcomes of surgical patients. The advantage of a program in Perioperative Medicine is to be able to train fellows the practice of patient centered, multidisciplinary, and integrated medical care with the goal of improving short term and long term outcomes through optimization of patients from their chronic conditions upstream from surgical episodes until recovery.
