At the start of his academic career, Dr. Koncelik earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1978 and his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine at Ohio University in 1982.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient’s respiration.
