Anesthesia leadership
change
DR. FRANK SARNQUIST WAS
NAMED acting chair of the Department of Anesthesia in
mid-June after Dr. Donald Stanski stepped down from the
chairmanship, which he had held for five years.
Stanski, whose research
interests are in pharmacokinetics and dynamics of
anesthetic drugs, will continue his research, teaching
and clinical practice as a professor in the department.
Sarnquist, who has served
on the faculty since 1976, was appointed to full
professor in 1992. An expert on high-altitude physiology,
he participated as a climber/physician in a 1981 American
Medical Research Expedition to Mt. Everest. His other
research interests include the medical effects of heart
bypass surgery and risk management in anesthesia.
Sarnquist earned his medical degree in 1969 at UCSF and
later did a residency there.
