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.

Each registrant will be entitled to attend written board sessions each evening at which written questions will be presented, discussed and answered, grouped by themes. These sessions will be moderated by faculty who regularly organize and hold sessions for our residency program.

The participant will also have the option of attending one of our mock oral examination sessions, where 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. 

Three stage TEE workshops and regional anesthesia workshop are included at no extra charge.

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.

We will also provide the syllabus material in a CD-ROM format which will be a benefit to those attending the course. A $50 discount is offered to any registrant who declines a paper (hard copy) syllabus. A table and electrical outlet for laptops are available at each seta. 

The final unique benefit will be access via password to a website that will contain unique materials to all registrants and “100 tips for passing your Boards” created from the experiences of our large faculty. All of this additional material will be included in the basic registration fee, except for optional one-on-one practice oral examinations.

Our goal is to provide an excellent product at an affordable price.

 

Target audience

The aim of this course is to attract anesthesiology residents and graduates preparing for certifying examinations, physicians in practice, and Certified Nurse Anesthetists who desire all or part of a comprehensive review of the specialty or preparation for recertification. The course is also available to Student Nurse Anesthetists who are preparing for their certification examination.
