The social questions are common in almost all specialties and are posted on our website (find the link at the bottom of this book), however the medical questions are very specific to the specialty you are applying to. In this book we collected all the medical questions asked to anesthesiology residency applicants during the interviews in the past few years. These questions are the basic knowledge you must have to be accepted to this specialty and usually you learn them from your medical school anesthesia rotations and curriculum.This book is about the medical questions you will be likely asked by the interviewers in anesthesia residency interviews which are usually the program director, assistant program director, some faculty and the chief residents.We strongly encourage you to study these questions and answers because answering them correctly will:1-Give the program director and faculty a positive impression about you.2-The more correct answers you have, the higher will be your rank in the match algorithm.3-It will give the faculty a good impression about your medical knowledge background and hence will minimize the unnecessary further meticulous search in your profile.4-The chief residents in turn will also recommend you to be ranked high when they do the ranking session with the faculty.5-You will earn confidence in yourself especially when going to further residency interviews.Before going into the Anesthesia interview questions and answers let us tell you a little bit about this specialty:Anesthesiology residency program train doctors on delivering anesthesia during surgical procedures, caring for critically ill patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and managing medical emergencies. The program should provide initial rotations in surgical anesthesia, critical care medicine, and pain medicine. Experience in these rotations emphasize the fundamental aspects of anesthesia, preoperative evaluation and immediate postoperative care of surgical patients, and assessment and treatment of critically ill patients and those with acute and chronic pain. Residents should receive training in the complex technology and equipment associated with these practices.Anesthesiology residency is a 4 years program, the first year spent in a preliminary medicine or transitional year (or as a combo, part of the 4 year categorical program) followed by the 3 year advanced anesthesiology training.The average scores for AMGs who matched in Anesthesia in USMLE step 1 and 2 CK are 226 and 235 respectively.For IMGs who matched in Anesthesia the average scores in USMLE step 1 and 2 CK are 229 and 231 respectively.About 70% of positions offered in the match go to AMGs and about 30% of positions go to IMGs. About 95% of AMGs who apply do match and about 45% of IMGs who apply to either categorical or advanced do successfully match , which is considered a very good percentage in this competitive specialty.
