In any residency interview you go to, there will be general
questions and medical questions related to the specialty. Also to prove that
you are interested in their program, there are questions you would like to ask
the faculty and residents. 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 are expected to know to
be accepted to this specialty and usually you learn them from your medical
school anesthesia rotations and curriculum. Also it contain the questions you have to ask the programs director, faculty, chief residents and residents.
Interview day is like doomsday for the applicant; you either get
praised or humiliated! Although it’s not the match day yet, however, it is the
day where you either enter the match rank list or you are out! Your performance
on the interviews is very important and is considered one of the main key
factors that determine your rank on the program director's NRMP match list.
Unfortunately many people even fail to be ranked by the programs because of
their poor performance. So the reason behind writing this book is to help
residency applicants be aware of what kind of questions they will face so they
get prepared to successfully pass the interview. This book contains the most
common questions asked over the past 10 years gathered from thousands of
applicants we guided who interviewed in almost all the programs in the US.
After mastering the contents of this book, the applicant should be
confident going to any interview and should be able to answer the questions
being asked by the programs and ask questions without hesitation.
We strongly encourage you to study these questions and answers
because answering them correctly will:

correct answers you have, the higher will be your rank in the NRMP match
