Residency Program in Detail
Case Requirements (Cumulative)
Technique Requirements (Cumulative)
Board eligible as deemed by the American Board of Anesthesiology
The ABA is transitioning to a new assessment program that will complement the movement of the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) toward competency-based training and promotion. The American Board of Anesthesiology now requires candidates who will complete residency training on or after June 30, 2016 to be in the Staged Examination system. Rather than taking the Part 1 Examination at the conclusion of residency, ABA candidates will take a staged Part 1 Examination that will consist of two separate examinations. The first of these examinations, the BASIC Examination, will be taken in July of the CA2 year. It will be followed by the ADVANCED Examination after the conclusion of residency training. Once a candidate has successfully completed the ADVANCED Examination, he/she will then be eligible for APPLIED Examination.
