Anesthesia toolbox

The Anesthesia Education Toolbox provides an online peer reviewed set of educational resources collaboratively developed and shared by anesthesia residency programs across the US and abroad. Comprised of a competency-based curriculum with milestone assessments for residents, fellows and post-residency graduates, the toolbox provides a mechanism for faculty to submit, peer-review, and share educational materials including e-learning modules, lectures materials, problem-based learning exercises, simulation scripts, video/image libraries, hands-on skills training, and competency assessment tools.

OpenAnesthesia

OpenAnesthesia
OpenAnesthesia™, sponsored by the International Anesthesia Research Society, was founded by Dr. Edward C. Nemergut and Dr. Robert Thiele. It debuted in July 2009 with the broad goal of advancing graduate medical education in anesthesia. Since its inception as an experimental project, OpenAnesthesia™ has grown to be a comprehensive resource for anaesthesiology residents and physicians worldwide.

OpenAnesthesia offers online education resources. We are dedicated to using cutting-edge technology and a modern approach to education to provide the best, most time-efficient continuous education that targets individual resident’s and physician’s strengths and weaknesses, and, of course, interests. Our goal, as from our inception, to offer an education system that is effective, engaging, and ultimately improves anaesthesiology practice and patient care.
