Lucas Deschenes, MD, completed his anesthesiology residency at the University of Minnesota in 2020, followed by dual fellowship training in adult cardiothoracic anesthesia and critical care medicine.
He began his faculty career at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where he developed a particular interest in global health and led multiple medical teams to Zambia through the Global Academic Anesthesia Consortium. He was excited to return to the University of Minnesota, where he currently practices across the divisions of cardiac anesthesia, critical care, and solid organ transplant.
Dr. Deschenes' clinical and academic interests center on cardiothoracic and critical care education, as well as global health and health equity. He particularly enjoys working with residents and fellows and helping trainees develop through clinical education, mentorship, and hands-on experience caring for complex, critically ill patients.
