Anesthesia work covers general, orthopedic, obstetric and pediatric cases, with pediatric procedures limited to healthy children undergoing BMT/T&A and occasional appendix surgeries. Trauma cases are excluded, and the caseload is described as routine, core anesthesia work. The assignment is a supplemental, temporary position lasting 12 weeks.
