About Us

Our department has a long tradition of pioneering medical advances. Our legacy traces back to the first public demonstration of anesthesia by William T. G. Morton at Mass General in 1846, and we are energized by the promising advances of tomorrow.

In our thriving educational program, leading clinicians train anesthesiologists, medical students, and practicing clinicians.
