A skilled anesthesiologist with more than 30 years of experience, Richard Epstein formerly served as a staff anesthesiologist for Physicians Anesthesia Associates in Towson, Maryland. Richard Epstein’s medical training included a fellowship in cardiac anesthesia at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School (Penn Medicine). Penn Medicine’s Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Fellowship features a one-year clinical training program that prepares graduates for leadership positions in the cardiothoracic anesthesiology field.
The comprehensive program enables students to study in a multidisciplinary academic environment and fosters competence in medical knowledge, patient care, and systems-based practice. Faculty members provide clinical instruction in a state-of-the-art cardiothoracic operating room and offer a variety of educational activities. Educational activities range from weekly advanced topics and multidisciplinary meetings to introductions to critical care medicine and the TEE course. Furthermore, fellows will need to prepare a number of case presentations for the Advanced Topics in Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Fellow Conference.
Qualified fellows who complete the program may also be eligible for one of four accredited positions to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Completion of the Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology Fellowship fulfills the minimum requirements specified by ACGME.
