Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One: BASIC Exam, Second Edition\u00a0<\/span>2nd Edition PDF<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

by Brian Freeman (Author), Jeffrey Berger (Author) is the essential, high-yield review for Part One of the ABA BASIC Exam\u2015updated to align with the latest exam blueprint.<\/p>\n

Anesthesiology residents must pass the BASIC exam in order to continue their training. This essential resource is the single best way to take the stress out of this make-or-break exam, focus your study on nearly 200 must-know topics found on the board exam outline, and identify your areas of strength and weakness. Written by program directors with many years of board examination advising experience, Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One: BASIC Exam succinctly summarizes key concepts in basic science and clinical anesthesia practice. Space is conveniently provided throughout the book to add notes from other study resources. This updated second edition reflects the latest literature and incorporates new topics such as COVID-19.Contents
