You would join a tenured group of liver transplant anesthesiologists, several of whom have practiced at Ochsner for more than 20 years. The team works closely with Ochsner's transplant surgeons and hepatologists, and the liver surgeons take an active part in recruiting new anesthesiologists.
The department continues to add physicians. It hired an Ochsner anesthesiology residency graduate in 2025 and another in July 2026.
