Hi UCSD Anesthesiology Alumni! It's been a while since I've posted, so over the coming days I'll be sharing some news about your Department. The magnificent Jacobs Medical Center (attached to Thornton Hospital) is fully up and running, and we now have a total of 22 ORs up in La Jolla, including the four ORs for the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center. The second floor has been designed such that the CV Center ORs, Thornton ORs, and the JMC ORs are all connected on one floor, creating one large OR suite. If you're an attending and want to stay in shape running all over the place during the day, this is the place to do it! I logged over 14,000 steps the other day! On the immediate horizon is the opening of our new ambulatory surgery pavilion, with 8 new ORs and a procedural suite for our Pain docs. Lots happening here at UCSD! Over the next few years we're planning a new hospital, outpatient facility, and laboratories on the Hillcrest campus as well...

UC San Diego is working on a revamp of its Hillcrest medical campus, which is home to one of the region's oldest and most used hospitals.

Here's a nice pic of Dr. Tony Yaksh receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Neuromodulation Society.

Of course many alumni remember Dr. Tony Yaksh. He's still a foundation of UCSD Anesthesiology research, with one success after another. In December 2015 HE RECEIVED THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN NEUROMODULATION SOCIETY. This is a great honor for Tony, who has now written more than 780 scientific papers; cited more than 45,000 times in the medical literature. He has served as mentor for over 100 post-doctoral researchers. Also, yes, he is still approachable, friendly, fun Tony. CONGRATULATIONS DR. TONY YAKSH!!
