James P. Dilger, PhD
Our Visiting Professor this month is Paul G Barash, MD. Dr. Barash is Professor Emeritus of Anesthesiology at Yale University. Previously, he served as Chair of the Department, as well as Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs for the Medical School. Dr. Barash was born in Brooklyn, NY (geographically, that makes him a native Long Islander!). He did his undergraduate studies at City College and then completed his MD at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine in Lexington, KY. He then returned to Brooklyn for an internship at Kings County Medical Center. For the next two years, he served in the military for the US Public Health Service, Division of Indian Health in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. This was followed by residency training in Anesthesiology at Yale New Haven Medical Center; he was Chief Resident in his final year. Dr. Barash has remained at Yale for the entirety of his academic career; initially as an Instructor and rising to Professor in 1982. ![]() Dr. Barash has received numerous awards for his teaching and achievements in education: the International Anesthesia Research Society Teaching Recognition Award for Achievement (2014), the Society of Education /Duke Award for Excellence and Innovation in Anesthesia Education (2015), and the first ASA Excellence in Education Award (2016). He has served as President of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists. He has been a Senior Examiner for the certification process of the American Board of Anesthesiology and a consultant to NASA on Perioperative Medicine for Manned Space Flight. In 2010 he was given the Distinguished Service Award of the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) in recognition of his contributions to the specialty of cardiac anesthesiology and the SCA. We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Barash to Stony Brook! He will present a lecture to the residents on September 19, "What are you reading?" and speak to the department at Grand Rounds on September 20, "When are you scheduling your 'voluntary' neurocognitive examination? Challenges in evaluating senior physicians". ![]() |
