The ABA in-training exam is given yearly in July here on campus.

3. In addition, the department offers special weekly sub-specialty sessions in OB-, Neuro-, and Cardiac Anesthesia.
4. Departmental Journal Clubs are organized 4-5 times per year and are hosted at the homes of our faculty.

Intra-operative teaching is on-going on a daily basis with attending physicians at a one-to-one or one-to-two ratio.

1. An annual Airway Workshop is conducted to allow hands-on learning.
