Dr. Natalia Ivascu Selected as ABA Examiner

The Department of Anesthesiology is proud to acknowledge the recent selection of Natalia Ivascu, M.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology, as a new Examiner for the American Board of Anesthesiology’s Oral Board Examination.

The American Board of Anesthesiologists (ABA) has been the major certifying board for American anesthesiologists since 1938. The ABA administers primary and subspecialty board certification exams, as well as maintaining the Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program (MOCA) – a continuous certifications process designed to promote lifelong learning and a commitment to quality clinical outcomes and patient safety. The Oral Board Examinations, of which Dr. Ivascu will be an examiner, are held at the ABA’s Assessment Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Board-certified in Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Dr. Natalia Ivascu cares for patients at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center as a Cardiac Anesthesiologist and Critical Care Intensivist in the Cardiothoracic Surgical Intensive Care Unit. Dr. Ivascu completed her undergraduate studies in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the University of Michigan. She then went on to earn her medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan. She began her career at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Medical College as a resident in Anesthesiology. Dr. Ivascu completed an additional year of fellowship training at Cornell, in Cardiovascular Anesthesiology, and then spent a year at the Columbia University campus of NYP as a fellow in Critical Care Medicine. In addition to her clinical and educational duties, Dr. Ivascu serves the Department of Anesthesiology as the Medical Director of the PACU and PAT, and Associate Medical Director of the CTICU.

The Department congratulates Dr. Ivascu on this honor.
