CA-1 to CA-3 residents take no 24-hour clinical anesthesia calls. Training includes POCUS with a pathway to ASA Diagnostic POCUS certification, a perfused cadaver lab, awake intubation and CPB education, and interns do two months of anesthesiology.
Summarized from the program’s official website. Confirm details with the program.
Program highlights
- Emphasise board-readiness: ask about the Wednesday academic day, ABA-outline didactics, mock orals in the two-examiner ABA APPLIED format and OSCEs, run partly by ABA examiners on faculty.
- Ask about the call model: no 24-hour clinical anesthesia calls for CA-1 to CA-3.
- Show interest in the POCUS pathway toward ASA Diagnostic POCUS certification before graduation.
- Mention hands-on procedural training (awake intubation, front-of-neck airway, CPB, perfused cadaver lab, blood bank) and ask how often these sessions occur.
- Note the early start: interns do two months of anesthesiology plus OR assimilation before CA-1; ask how that shapes the CA-1 transition.
- If scholarly, ask about the resident publication incentive program, conference days (ASA ADVANCE, Legislative Conference) and the Resident Leadership Group.
