The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Minnesota has a long history of strong research - and, with Dr. Wall’s arrival in 2013 and Dr. Todd’s arrival in 2016, we have a renewed commitment to “all things academic.” This includes clinical research, data-driven quality improvement, basic science and educational research. In the last 6 years we have seen a striking increase in activity in all three of these areas. And we have constructed a robust infrastructure to support all of these activities, with research coordinators, grants-management, data analysts, a statistician and more. By visiting the pages below, you can see what we’re doing in all these areas - and who is doing it.
