Programs/Services Offered

THE RESIDENCY TRAINING PROGRAM

          The Department of Health (DOH) Anesthesia Residency Training Consortium (DOH-CART) is a group of specialty hospitals comprised of the following: Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital, Lung Center of the Philippines, National Children’s Hospital, Philippine Heart Center, Philippine Orthopedic Center Valenzuela Medical Center and East Avenue Medical Center. This Consortium is formed to meet the standards set by the Philippine Board of Anesthesiologists (PBA), in which a specialty hospital singularly will not be capable of.

          The Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial (DJFMH), Philippine Orthopedic Center (POC) and the Valenzuela Medical Center (VMC) are designated as base hospitals and major stakeholders of the consortium.  It is from these hospitals that the resident staff shall originate (based on existing government items), and the bulk of didactics and training shall be held.  The Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP), National Children’s Hospital (NCH), Philippine Heart Center (PHC), and East Avenue Medical Center (EAMC) are the members which will not provide resident items, but will provide rotations in particular anesthesia subspecialities.

          The training program is a four-year residency program (three years residency and one year of return of service) which provide trainees with a general professional training in anesthesiology.  Training in all aspects of anesthesia and intensive care would be adequately covered to enable the trainees to deal with most types of anesthetic and resuscitation problems.

        Importance is given to learning the foundations of anesthesia in the basic sciences and medical disciplines, and the development of knowledge and skills in clinical anesthesiology, under the close supervision of a competent consultant staff.

         The four years of general professional training in Anesthesiology will culminate in the attainment of a certificate of completion of anesthesiology residency.
