 Hi, my name is Aaron Sachs and I'm the current Administrative and Scheduling Chief Resident of the University of Maryland Department of Anesthesiology. Our department has an unparalleled research facility providing numerous opportunities for those who come and train here. Through our ties with shock trauma, we have become experts in the field of critical care and trauma anesthesiology research. We are currently the six highest NIH funded anesthesiology department in the country and we also have a number of US military grants that help support our research. We conduct a variety of clinical, translational and basic science research with the help of some of our renowned faculty who provide us research opportunities for our trainees. In addition, we have many opportunities in patient safety and quality improvement initiatives as well as other scholarly pursuits such as publications. I feel that all of our trainees receive support from our department and from our leadership and I personally feel proud to be part of our team. This is one of many reasons that I chose to come here and do my training with the University of Maryland.
