We Welcome the Class of 2029 to the Columbia Anesthesiology Family

Residency Program Director Dr. Teresa Mulaikal and Chair Dr. Meghan Lane-Fall welcomed the new PGY-1 class to Columbia at Match Day this month. They also thanked the residents, fellows, faculty, and administrators who served as exemplary ambassadors for our residency program throughout the recruitment season, conveying the vitality of our learning environment, and inspiring the Class of 2029 to join our ranks.
