The Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology & Therapeutics boasts a distinguished history of groundbreaking drug research dating back to 1951. Our faculty conducts cutting-edge investigations across diverse fields including neural, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine and clinical pharmacology, along with pharmacoepidemiology, pain management (both acute and chronic), cardio-pulmonary sciences, clinical outcomes, patient safety, medical equity, evidence-based practice, knowledge translation, intensive care, transplant medicine, neurosciences, anesthesiology (including obstetric and pediatric specialties), perioperative technology, regional anesthesia, and pharmaceutical development. Highly qualified undergraduates may gain direct entry to our Ph.D. program, while others may pursue a combined M.D./Ph.D. track (requiring separate admission to the Faculty of Medicine).
