Rate My Professor Catherine McIntosh

Dr McIntosh's contributions to the field encompass research on operational aspects of anaesthesia services and medical training. Among her key publications is 'The impact of service-specific staffing, case scheduling, turnovers, and first-room-of-the-day starts on anesthesia group and hospital productivity,' published in Anesthesia & Analgesia in 2006, co-authored with Franklin Dexter and Richard H. Epstein from the Department of Anaesthesia at John Hunter Hospital. Another significant work is 'Mean operating room times differ by 50% among hospitals in different countries for common ambulatory surgery procedures,' appearing in the Journal of Anesthesia in 2006. Her ResearchGate profile lists additional contributions, including 'Classroom and simulation team training: A randomized controlled trial' and 'Training in the Calman era: what consultants say,' reflecting interests in simulation-based education and training reforms in anaesthesia and surgery. With a profile showing 58 citations, her work addresses productivity in operating rooms and team training efficacy. Dr McIntosh is associated with accredited anaesthesia training programs at John Hunter Hospital, as noted by the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA), supporting the education of anaesthesia trainees through rotations in the Northern Rotational Training Scheme.
