The primary teaching facility is Parkland Health and Hospital System. Parkland is considered a leading trauma center and one of the finest public hospitals in the country. This large and busy hospital provides a diversity of surgical cases. Working at Parkland is challenging, yet fulfilling, with more than 25% of the cases designated as emergency cases. Within the division of Obstetric Anesthesiology, of the more than 16,000 deliveries per year, 45% are categorized as high risk. In addition to clinical services, the Obstetric Anesthesiology division is actively involved in research. The Parkland Pain Management Service sees ambulatory and in-patient referrals from family practitioner and specialist colleagues. A wide range of treatment options are offered, including specialist medication manipulations, physical interventions, and a multidisciplinary pain management program. Additionally, the goals of an active Acute Pain Service (APS) include: 1) to improve pain management of hospitalized patients; 2) to educate residents in the techniques of acute pain management; and 3) to direct clinical research in pain management. The APS also manages non-surgical pain as in severe trauma, multiple fractures, extensive burns, carcinomas, acute radiculopathies, chronic pancreatitis, sickle cell crisis and acute-on-chronic pain. Ultimately, the APS will expand to include patients at other affiliated University hospitals.
