In early 2025, joining an editorial board of a major peer-reviewed journal and receiving a faculty development research fellowship have advanced the early career record of Associate Professor of Anesthesiology Alexander Doyal, MD, MPH, FASA, in peri-operative medicine scholarly excellence.
In January, Dr. Doyal was named Associate Editor of Infographics for the journal Anesthesiology. Over his three-year (renewable) term, Dr. Doyal will work with other Associate Editors to ensure that development and production of infographics published in Anesthesiology are accurate, informative, and visually appealing. Dr. James P. Rathmell,聽Editor-in-Chief of 础苍别蝉迟丑别蝉颈辞濒辞驳测,听wrote:
“We are confident that Dr. Doyal’s expertise and experience will help to enhance the quality of the publications and make them even more accessible to our readers. We want to extend our warmest congratulations to Dr. Doyal on his appointment.”
In late February, Dr. Doyal was one of two early-career anesthesiologists to be named Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG) 2025 Outcomes Research Fellows. During his one-year MPOG research fellowship, Dr. Doyal will investigate the impact of anesthetic modalities, particularly peripheral nerve blocks, on 30-day mortality following major lower extremity amputations (MLEA). His study aims to evaluate the differential rates of major complications and mortality among patients receiving regional, spinal, or general anesthesia. Dr. Doyal’s study goals are to inform anesthetic practices for MLEA surgical interventions, ultimately improving outcomes for future patients.
