Adam Levine

A graduate from the Icahn School of Medicine, Dr. Adam Levine is a Professor of Anesthesiology, Otolaryngology and Structural and Chemical Biology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He also serves as Program Director and Vice Chair of Education for the Department of Anesthesiology.

Dr. Levine is an expert in the anesthetic management for otolaryngologic surgery, and is senior editor and major contributing author of the reference textbook “Anesthesiology and Otolaryngology”, an innovative collaborative work, which was published by Springer in 2013. Over the course of his 20-year tenure Dr. Levine has developed an innovative clinical program incorporating the extensive use of regional anesthesia for head and neck surgical procedures for intraoperative and postoperative care, and for airway management. Some of Dr. Levine’s research focuses on the use of regional anesthesia for sinus, nasal and thyroid surgery. A prolific speaker, Dr. Levine lectures nationally on TIVA and regional anesthesia for head and neck surgery. He co-moderated (with his colleague Dr. Samuel DeMaria) the first Workshops on Regional Anesthesia for Head and Neck Surgery at both the ASA 2013 and the NYSSA PGA 2013.

Recognized as an expert in simulation, Dr. Levine developed innovative programs of simulation-based education and assessment. His team’s CARE (Clinical Anesthesia ReEntry) program is perhaps the most notably known for simulation-based assessment and retraining for anesthesiologists seeking clinical reentry. Dr. Levine is an editor on the ASA Editorial Board on Simulation Education that oversees the ASA simulation endorsement program, and is also a site visitor for the Society in Simulation Healthcare accreditation program. As one of the first programs to be awarded endorsement, Dr. Levine has been the program director of the ASA endorsed HELPS (Human Emulation, Education, and Evaluation Lab for Patient Safety and Professional Study) Center Program, and has been conducting courses to satisfy MOCA ® Part IV requirements for ABA re-certification since 2010. In 2013 Dr. Levine served as the senior editor of “The Comprehensive Textbook of Healthcare Simulation”, a 50 chapter, multidisciplinary, international work published by Springer.

As a testament to his teaching abilities, Dr. Levine has been the recipient of numerous departmental, institutional, and international education awards; most notably he was the 2009 recipient of the International Anesthesia Research Society Life Time Achievement Award for Teaching.
