Despite the intense training many anesthesiologists complete during the course of residency and fellowship, many physicians are simply uncomfortable with ultrasound guided nerve blocks, critical care medicine, pediatric anesthesia etc. AnesthesiaExam.com is an online examination that tests the physician’s knowledge of the most up to date techniques, as well as traditional approaches to the surgical patient. As it currently functions as a board review tool for pain practitioners, it can help any health care professional understand the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of some of the most common and rarer pain disorders. After completing each of the eight 50 question exams, the user will get a score, and feedback on his or her answer choices.
