More than 45 faculty members and researchers contributed to a new anesthesiology review book, according to a University release.
Jeffrey Berger, the associate dean for graduate medical education and an associate professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine, co-edited and published the 2016 review book for anesthesiology residents, according to the release.
The new book, “Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam,” is for anesthesiology residents who take the board certification exam at the end of residency training. Berger co-edited the book with Brian Freeman, the program director and an associate professor in the department of anesthesiology at Georgetown University Medical Center.
“To have an organized, alphabetical, quick resource when studying for a major exam is very valuable,” Berger said in the release. “We envision this being used in conjunction with other resources, like a question bank or online learning modules.”
Most authors are from the D.C. area and work at Children’s National Health System, Georgetown University Medical Center, MedStar Washington Hospital Center and Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences.
After the board review exam changed in 2013, the editors were inspired to create a study resource tailored to the new format.
“As the program director for the anesthesiology residency program at Georgetown, I immediately knew I wanted to work with Dr. Berger, the program director for the anesthesiology residency program at the George Washington University, to see if we could put together a high-quality study material for trainees around the country,” Freeman said in the release.
