The GVT and Surgical Critical Care divisions<br />
were combined in July 2000 to<br />
form the GVTCCM Division of Anesthesiology<br />
under the leadership of David<br />
Lubarsky, M.D., M.B.A. as Chief and<br />
Associate Directors Kerri M. Robertson,<br />
M.D., FRCP(C) and Christopher Young,<br />
M.D., FCCCM. The combination of the<br />
previously independent sections was<br />
accomplished in order to bring a full<br />
perioperative medicine approach to the<br />
care of our patients. Our responsibilities<br />
range from directing the preoperative<br />
screening clinic, to running multiple<br />
operating rooms for a tertiary care practice,<br />
to medically supervising the PACU,<br />
to providing the anesthesia faculty for<br />
and co-directing the SICU. This allows<br />
our division to impact the entire perioperative<br />
experience to maximize<br />
patient health outcomes and minimize<br />
procedural imperfections. The division’s<br />
clinical faculty are a “seasoned”<br />
and productive group who have a variety<br />
of clinical and research interests<br />
which are detailed below.<br />
David Lubarsky, as Chief of the<br />
Division, holds an academic rank of<br />
Associate Professor, is Vice Chairman<br />
for the department and Adjunct<br />
Associate Professor in the Health Sector<br />
Management Program of the Fuqua<br />
School of Business. He combines a<br />
high-energy style with his experience<br />
and expertise in both the world of medicine<br />
and business to illuminate economic<br />
concepts and define cost effective<br />
patient care. He published four articles<br />
this past year, three related to<br />
healthcare economics, and one clinical<br />
study on post-operative ischemia and<br />
coagulation profiles. His teaching interests<br />
this year included mentoring medical<br />
students in their Cost Effective Care<br />
Clerkship, teaching a full course<br />
(Informatics, the Internet, and<br />
Healthcare) at the MBA program<br />
at Fuqua, writing and editing the 2nd<br />
Edition of Board Stiff (an oral review<br />
book that sold 12,000 copies in its first<br />
edition), and serving as chair of the<br />
editorial board of AnesthesiaWeb (the<br />
largest anesthesia e-magazine in the<br />
world). In the near future, look for the<br />
first anesthesiology textbook written<br />
exclusively for the Internet with emedicine.com<br />
for which Dr. Lubarsky is the<br />
co-project manager with Dr. Charles<br />
Cote of Northwestern University and<br />
one of the editors-in-chief as well.<br />
Kerri Robertson is a Canadian graduate,<br />
with two years of fellowship training<br />
in Liver Transplant Anesthesia, and<br />
15 years of subsequent clinical and<br />
research experience in all areas of subspecialty<br />
anesthesia practice. Following<br />
an extensive search, due to both her<br />
clinical and leadership skills, Dr.<br />
Robertson was selected as the Chief<br />
of the GVT section of the GVTCCM<br />
Division in Anesthesiology in July 2000.
