Introduction
The specialty of anaesthesiology has been marked by unprecedented growth and change in various methods of rendering the patients insensitive to pain. Monitoring and maintaining vital organ functions during surgery remains the main professional activity of the anaesthesiologist. The practice of anaesthesiology continues to grow as evidenced in the development of subspecialties like pain management, critical care and preoperative medicine.
Department of anaesthesiology of Dr R.P.G.M.C was setup in 1997 at Dharamshala with two faculty members under the leadership of Dr R.S. Thakur. In December 2007 department was shifted to Dr RPGMC campus at Tanda. The department is currently running under the leadership of Dr Shelly Rana.
Over the years , along with development of medical sciences , the department has set its own high standards in patient care, education and research. All surgical and super specialties are anchored to this specialty.
The department has an annual intake of 13 junior residents pursuing their MD Degrees . All post graduates are posted in routine OTs, ICU, PAC and pain clinics in rotation.In addition, BSC Paraclinical Courses in anesthesia are also being run with an annual intake of 6 students which has been increased to 18 from 2022 onwards.
Conferences, workshops and CMEs are organized and attended by the department regularly.
Vision
To provide a world class service oriented department by continually improving our processes and services to exceed our patients and community requirements by providing excellent ,sustainable and accessible health care services delivered in a timely manner by competent and compassionate staff through the full implementation of sound quality management systems by caring our patients ,education of students and conduct research to provide world class medicines conforming to all statutory and regulatory requirement

Treatment of Patients /community health improvementResearch
- Development of research lab.
- Provision of online journals, E book facilities and regularly updated library.
- WIFI campus.
- Research methodology regular updates and refresher courses to be made mandatory to all faculty , students participation in teaching and training in research to be made mandatory in the curriculum.
To improve health care delivery, hospital improvement, academic improvement. The following core values are imbibed in each health care provider:
- Excellence and discovery (BE THE BEST).
- Leadership and integrity (BE A ROLE MODEL).
- Respect and collegiality (BE KIND).
- Compassion and commitment towards patients, community and colleagues.
- One should be competent, honest, and credible and share co-responsibility.
To ensure academic improvement ,transitional blocks need to be ensured :
High costs
Slow results
Lack of funding
Regulatory burden
Fragmented infrastructure
Incompatible database
Gap between best evidence based practice and what actually happens is substantial and needs to be reduced.
For all these improvements/requirements, action plan is necessary.
