Research constitute an important component of our department. The Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine has expertise, facilities and environment to conduct research in both the basic and clinical sciences.
In addition, we currently run clinical trials that actively exposes all the faculty staff, residents and medical students through the interaction of these diverse areas; and accomplish the goals of obtaining new pertinent information for better care and management of patients.
