About
George Anesi
I am an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine and an Attending Physician in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. I have advanced training in health services research, clinical epidemiology, high-risk pathogen and disaster preparedness, biomedical ethics, and global health.
My NIH-funded research program focuses on hospital preparedness and the evaluation of critical care and acute care resources during times of strain to the system, including situations of dynamic strain (e.g., random variation in demand, seasonal trends, epidemics, and disasters) and fixed strain (e.g., critical illness in resource-limited settings domestically and globally).
I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago and MD from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. I completed my internal medicine residency at Massachusetts General Hospital and fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Penn. I also hold masters degrees in clinical epidemiology from Penn and bioethics from Case Western.
At Penn, I see patients in the medical intensive care units (ICUs) and on the Rapid Response service. I serve as Director of the Medical Critical Care Bioresponse Program, Medical Director of the Special Pathogen Treatment Unit, and Co-Chair of the Penn Medicine Critical Care Alliance COVID-19 and Pandemic Preparedness Committee.
