ABOUT DEREK WEI DER WU
I am a physician leader and anesthesiologist focused on advancing patient care by strengthening teams and creating sustainable pathways for the next generation of physicians.As Assistant Chief of Anesthesia and Medical Director of Outpatient Surgery at Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa, I help guide our department in delivery quality anesthetic care. Beyond the operating room, I lead efforts in physician recruitment and advancing our department\'s efforts in clinical education, training in novel regional anesthesia techniques, helping to build a team that delivers high-value, patient-centered care.I am especially passionate about developing hiring pipelines through residency programs. By partnering with training programs—including my alma mater at UC San Diego and beyond—I provide professional development, mentorship, and career coaching to residents as they transition into independent practice. This work not only strengthens our recruitment efforts but also invests in the long-term future of our specialty.At the center of my leadership philosophy is a simple belief: great medicine comes from great teams. I strive to build those teams, support physicians at every stage of their careers, and create systems where excellence in patient care is matched by a culture of collaboration and growth.
