Matt McEvoy, MD Residency Program Director

Department and Faculty
The Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Medicine at MUSC is a highly integrated, collaborative group of adult and pediatric anesthesiologists. The department is comprised of 40 staff doctors, 37 residents in clinical anesthesia training and more than 50 nurse anesthetists who are committed to providing optimal care to adult and pediatric patients requiring anesthesia.  Members of the department also conduct basic and clinical research and teach postgraduate and continuing education programs.
MUSC anesthesiologists supervise over 28,000 cases requiring anesthesia yearly assisted by residents and skilled nurse anesthetists. This large number of cases, integrated with ongoing research and education, results in wide-ranging expertise in the anesthetic management of patients of all ages.

Department members are organized into subspecialty groups, each focusing on a segment of anesthesiology.

Advisers
Eash resident is assigned a faculty adviser in their Clinical Base Year who can provide comprehensive educational advice and personal support during the entire residency.

Visiting Professors
Many prominent professors visit MUSC each year. They present their work during morning lectures and participate in hospital rounds. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities.

Career Development
Residents meet monthly with their faculty adviser and the training program director to discuss their individual goals.

MUSC recruits many staff physicians from its own training programs. Thus, after completion of the anesthesiology residency, career opportunities may be available at MUSC.

Moonlighting Policy
Internal Moonlighting is not allowed by the program.  External Moonlighting is permitted for residents who have a permanent license in the State of South Carolina. Moonlighting should not interfere with required learning and must not violate ACGME work hour rules. Moonlighting should not compromise the educational experience, but rather enhance it.
