Dr. Christopher Edwards joined us in 2018 as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Anesthesiology. He came to us from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where he completed his fellowship in Pediatric Anesthesiology. Previously, he earned his medical degree from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Dr. Edwards is a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology, with additional board certification in Pediatric Anesthesiology.

Dr. Edwards’ interests within anesthesiology include malignant hyperthermia (MH), perioperative blood management (especially in the context of craniofacial surgery) and resident education.

Additionally, Dr. Edwards developed UF’s pediatric massive transfusion protocol and is the Principal Investigator for UF’s involvement in the Pediatric Craniofacial Collaborative Group, a multi-institution collaborative that seeks to improve outcomes for children undergoing craniofacial surgery.
