Stony Brook University Department of Anesthesiology
Residency Program

The state-of-the-art 30,000 sq ft. Ambulatory Surgery Center opened in 2001. It consists of eight well-equipped operating rooms, each capable of supporting any type of ambulatory surgery. Approximately 8500 cases were performed at the Ambulatory Surgery Center last year. The Ambulatory Center has been in the top 5% ambulatory centers in the country for patient satisfaction for the past four years.

Most surgical specialties are represented at the center. We welcome surgeons from the university as well as from the surrounding communities. We perform some quite complex and lengthy procedures on an out-patient basis. Patients enjoy the privacy of their own pre-operative waiting rooms and families are permitted to be together in the recovery room. The Center is particularly well suited for pediatric surgery with a dedicated pre-operative play area and a specific recovery area for children.

F. Barry Florence, MB, ChB is Chief of the Division.

The combination of surgeons from the university with those from the surrounding community creates an environment where the best of university medical practice is combined with a private practice flavor.

CA-3. Senior anesthesia residents rotate through the Center; this prepares them for a taste of the “real-world.” Cases include an abundance of pediatric cases and ultrasound guided regional anesthesia, and an introduction to monitored sedation.
