Rapid Review Anesthesiology Oral Boards

Excellent review book, great place to get the foundations. Portable and useable on the go

Interessante Fälle, kurzweilig geschrieben und zur weiteren Recherche anregend - aber nicht ganz fehlerfrei (zum Bsp. Empfehlungen zur Medikamentendosierung). Empfehlenswert zu schnellen Wiederholung.

Excellent book. I really think if you know the material in this book including how to answer each type of question, you are golden. Dr Gupta is the master of the oral board. Having worked with him personally, I can say that this book is a close second to working with him in real life. Very inclusive of all the key concepts, easy to read, cuts out the unnecessary minutia. Remember this exam is a test of decision making, not minutia! Good luck preparing. Do yourself a favor and buy this oral board bible. Cheers. Dr Frank

It's an interesting option few days before taking the oral board, although it does not surrogate a complete, detailed anesthesia book. It makes you be wary of important topics.

Having just taken and passed my ABA oral board examination in March 2020, I highly recommend this book as your primary study source for this test. I thought I’d have a tough time preparing for the oral boards due to my pain background but this text made it painless. The book is super high yield; Dr. Gupta and his coauthors efficiently teach the language of the oral board examiners with their concise question stems which cover most of the must-know cases in various organ systems and patient populations. For example, the pediatrics chapter had rock solid stems for CDH, TEF, and TOF cases. As you read the book, you’ll find yourself becoming more confident with your answers and picking up on HY concepts which you forgot or never learned. As far as my study schedule, I picked up this book 3 months prior to my test and read it 3x. In summary, this book an excellent primary source for studying for the ABA SOE.
