We staff up to eight endoscopy suites daily including advanced therapeutic endoscopy such as ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound. Our paediatric practice encompasses ENT, dentistry and endoscopy. We have a very robust expertise in regional anaesthesia among our staff, with good ultrasound and block room infrastructure. While existing proficiency in neuraxial, truncal and extremity blocks is an asset, you will have ample opportunities to improve and expand your regional anaesthesia skills at Osler.
The department is supported by a multidisciplinary team which includes dedicated and skilled anaesthesia assistants and nurse practitioners who work in the operating rooms, block room, acute pain service and pre-anaesthesia clinic. May of our anaesthesiologists have extensive experience and interest in clinic teaching at all levels. The department is also involved in teaching airway skills to advanced care paramedics and respiratory therapists.
