DR. VICTOR L. MANDOFF

I am an award winning, fully practicing Board-Certified Professor of Anesthesiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). Practicing at a teaching hospital, helps me keep up-to-date and stay current in knowledge, thus utilizing evidence-based medicine. I have over 20 years of clinical experience and have won many teaching awards like "Golden Apple Award" or "Red Sash Award" and "Educational Excellence Award" presented to me by residents, students, and the College of Medicine.

In 2021, I became a Fellow of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (FASA). The FASA designation is the "highest acknowledgment that recognizes years of dedication to exceptional education, leadership and commitment to the specialty" as per American Society of Anesthesiologists website.

My practice provides care to the highest acuity patients from the state and surrounding areas. It is the only level one trauma center in my state and the only one that does liver transplantations I am also Critical Care Fellowship trained at the Cleveland Clinic Medical Foundation and was Critical Care Board Certified and practiced Critical Care Medicine 2006 to about 2016.

For many years I have been named in Arkansas Times Best Doctors in Arkansas List in Anesthesiology and in Critical Care Medicine. I have also served on national committees, have been an Anesthesiology question editor and writer, and an Oral Board Examiner for the American Board of Anesthesiology.
