"One of my main interests is to participate in appropriate training of anesthesiologist-intensivists to help ensure that Critical Care remains a viable part of the practice of Anesthesiology. Although there is tremendous lip service paid to this approach, in reality, there is evidence that it is not really embraced or practiced. If we choose to turn away from our rather tenuous commitment to Critical Care, we will lose a feature that differentiates us as physicians from others.
