Start here! Complete this form to connect with our team.

We’ll follow up to share more about available roles in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, and how we support new team members at every stage of their career.

The Department of Anesthesiology at the Ottawa Hospital is a vibrant community of physicians, Anesthesia Assistants, Respiratory Therapists, Nurses, Allied Health Professionals, and support staff, dedicated to deliver the best patient care through the practice of Anesthesiology and Peri-Operative Medicine.

We provide a broad range of Perioperative Services in The Ottawa Hospital. You will find us caring after patients in the Operating Room and the recovery room immediately after surgery (PACU) on the Birthing Unit and on the maternity wards. You will also find us in the PAU (Pre-Admission Unit) ensuring patients are ready for their surgery, and on the hospital ward looking after postoperative and other pains with the Acute Pain Service. We see patients in chronic pain clinics. For complex cancer patients, we maintain the Complex Cancer Pain Clinic jointly with Palliative Care. You will find us in the Intensive Care Units, the Hyperbaric Unit, and we administer anesthesia care in remote locations in endoscopy and in radiology suites. We see you through your most critical times.

We strive to maintain the highest Academic Standards in our everyday practice. We train future Anesthesiologists through our affiliation with the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine. We are an active participant in the Undergraduate Program at the Medical School. Although already highly regarded by Canadian Anesthesiology residents and consultants, our residency program continues to strive to further improve the education of our residents. The subspecialty fellowships offered by our Department are highly sought after: the focus is always on the education of our fellows. Visit the respective websites: Anesthesiology and Fellowships Anesthesiology.

We are striving to improve our practice by engaging in active research in Anesthesiology, with special focus on care after elderly patients, perioperative cardiovascular and perioperative neurological research, improved pain control and prevention of chronic pain, and innovations in patient safety and education using Simulation.

We are proud to be actively involved in the collaboration between The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa – The University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre (uOSSC), the largest Clinical Simulation Facilities in Canada.
