Get to know Anesthesiologist Dr. Jay Grossman, who serves patients in Miami, Florida.

An experienced anesthesiologist, Dr. Grossman is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

The University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine was established in 1952 as Florida’s first medical school, with just four faculty members and 28 medical students in its inaugural class. Since then, it has grown to become an internationally recognized institution with more than 1,700 faculty members, 48 centers and institutes, 29 clinical and basic science departments, and an average annual class cohort of more than 200 students.

Back in 1983, Dr. Grossman received his medical degree from the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. He then went on to complete his residency in anesthesiology at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in 1987.

As a testament of his continued education, the doctor is board-certified in anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). As the certifying body for anesthesiologists since 1938, the ABA is committed to partnering with physicians to advance lifelong learning and exceptional patient care. Its mission is to advance the highest standards of the practice of anesthesiology.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient’s respiration.
