General Anesthesiology CA-1 Rotations

Welcome! During these rotations you will develop the fundamental skills required to be a proficient anesthesiologist. Each case presents an opportunity to build, develop, and refine these skills. Set goals! Start each day with a small list of things you would like to continue working on. At the end of each day, seek feedback from your attendings and ask yourself the following questions: What went well and why? What didn’t go so well and why? What am I going to do differently tomorrow?
