Today’s inane image of the day:

My usual study setup – I cannot study at home for the life of me [having food, a couch, a bed and a television in close proximity makes it impossible for me to focus].

Introduction

For those of you at the beginning of your residency trying to plan for future exams, please start with my guide to studying for the ITE and my entry on studying for the ABA BASIC exam, first. Then make your way back here when you’re a CA3.

If you’re a CA3 or a graduate about to take the ABA ADVANCED exam, you’re in the right place.

Some basics about the ADVANCED exam

After graduating from residency, you’ll take the ADVANCED Exam. It focuses on clinical aspects of anesthetic practice and emphasizes subspecialty-based practice and advanced clinical issues. We’ll assign you an exam date after you register and can only change your assignment for religious observance, military commitments and medical accommodations.
