Three years into practice, he was appointed Acting Chief of Anesthesiology (2004) at Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System. Over two years at Cleveland Clinic Foundation (2007-2009), Dr. Arora grew more dedicated to practicing in large academic medical centers.<\/p>\n<p>Over 13 years at UNC (2009-Present), Dr. Arora has served as a soft-spoken, compassionate physician-scholar with a fierce commitment to excellence in academic anesthesiology. In 2015, he was named UNC Anesthesiology\u2019s first Edward A. Norfleet, MD \u201970 Distinguished Professor in Anesthesiology. As the Department\u2019s Residency Program Director (2012-2020) and Vice Chair for Education (2013-Present), this gifted mentor is to thank for the guidance he\u2019s brought to a generation of learners within the Department. Dr. Arora played a key leader in developing the present-day national standard for American Board of Anesthesiology physician anesthesiologist certification.<\/p>\n<p>To the State of the Mississippi, Dr. Arora brings multiple subspecialty strengths and a portfolio of research achievement and activity. His expertise includes advanced perioperative transesophageal echocardiography, liver transplant and vascular anesthesia, cardiothoracic anesthesia, and regional anesthesia, among other areas.\u00a0 Within UNC Anesthesiology, Dr. Arora has been recognized as both Clinical Researcher of the Year (2018-2019) and repeatedly among the Department\u2019s Outstanding Clinical Research Faculty. He is the P.I. of several federally grant-funded research projects and has repeatedly contributed faculty mentoring to award-winning, team-based resident quality improvement projects that have resulted in a substantial contribution to evolving knowledge in the field of anesthesiology.<\/p>\n<p>Department Chair Dr. David Zvara noted: \u201cThough Dr. Arora\u2019s departure is a true loss for UNC, we could not be happier for him. This is a tremendous opportunity for Dr. Arora to take his talents to [UMMC] and guide this department in patient care, education and research that advances the field of anesthesiology.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNC Department of Anesthesiology is pleased to congratulate Harendra Arora, MD, FASA, for being named the next Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC).
