Description
This course is designed to be a comprehensive review of Anesthesiology, including clinical anesthesia and subspecialties such as cardiothoracic, obstetric and pediatric anesthesiology, critical care, acute and chronic pain medicine, and perioperative medicine. Included in perioperative medicine is coverage of the most common co-morbidities relevant to anesthesia and the basic science associated with anesthesia.
The course sessions are designed to help improve the participant’s performance on written and oral anesthesiology examinations. Registrants will be invited to attend evening “Written Board Sessions” during which written questions will be grouped by themes and presented, discussed, and answered. These sessions will be moderated by faculty who regularly organize and hold sessions for our residency program. Participants will also have the option of attending mock oral examination sessions. Proper techniques (and common errors) will be demonstrated using faculty as both examiner and candidate, with active debriefing sessions involving all participants. Those who participate in the mock oral session will also be able to sign up for traditional mock oral examinations in a one-on-one private format that will include a debriefing session.
TEE ultrasound regional anesthesia, emergency airway, vascular access and pain medicine workshops are included at no cost. Registration for these workshops may be limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
An additional benefit of this course will be the enduring materials provided with registration to all participants. We will provide a syllabus that will be comprehensive and appropriate to a review course. The syllabus material will be available in a CD-ROM format. The final benefit will be access via password to a website that will contain unique materials to all registrants and “100 tips for Passing the Boards,” created from the experiences of our large faculty. All of these additional materials, with the exception of the optional one-on-one practice oral examinations, are included in the basic registration fee.
Our goal is to provide an excellent product at an affordable price.
