The Research Division fosters academic exploration through a wide array of special programs, educational initiatives, and conferences. In 2023, we celebrated our 25th Annual Research Day, a multidisciplinary conference featuring highlights of the academic work across our department. The conference theme was “Innovations in Global Health and Global Health Technologies.”
We also host a monthly academic conference called Discovery Rounds where we hear from researchers at all stages of their academic journey. For our national and international colleagues, our esteemed faculty educator Ozan Akca, MD, FCCM leads the research education course, “Introduction to Clinical Research for Academic Anesthesiologists”.
Our research health equity initiatives include the Health Equity Honors awards program, health equity research electives, and a range of independent projects advancing health equity.

Introduction to Clinical Research for Academic Anesthesiologists
The ICRAA course is an educational course for early career academic anesthesiologists and was co-founded by Dr. Ozan Akca, MD, FCCM, and Dr. Jean-Francois Pittet from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The course is led by Dr. Ozan Akca in collaboration with a dedicated core team of faculty members, including Drs. Ed Nemergut (University of West Virginia), Laura Cavallone (University of Chicago), Jeff Berger (George Washington University), Elizabeth Duggan (University of Alabama), Karsten Bartels (University of Nebraska), and C.
