Book Review: Basic Anesthesiology Examination Review

Abstract

This book is very useful for basic exam preparation and we actually evaluated it for this purpose using several trainees who were taking the examination for Fellowship of the Hong Kong College of Anaesthesiologists and for the Australia and New Zealand College (the exams are separate but very similar in structure and content). It comprises of 32 chapters characterized into 6 sections covering all essential topics included in the outline of the Basic Anesthesiology Examination of the American Board of Anesthesiology. The authors aim to provide exam candidates with a focused resource for preparation. Questions and answers are included in each chapter and this helps to bring each chapter together and tests overall understanding.
