In celebration of Women in Medicine month, and in recognition of the essential contributions of all of the women in the Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care at UCSF, we will provide highlights of the many extraordinary women in anesthesia throughout the month of September. Today, we celebrate the many women faculty members who, through their impactful research, are pushing the boundaries of medicine and the anesthesia field forward.
