Custom Curriculum also available!
AccessAnesthesiology’s Custom Curriculum is a FREE cutting-edge functionality that enables program directors to create, track, and report usage of anesthesiology rotations online. Build a resource that matches your unique needs!

Educators can:

• Create a rotation and topic
• Select reference content, videos, animations and grand rounds from the site
• Assign board review quizzes; customize the number of questions and set the passing grade
• Link out to references or external web-based resources
• Schedule grand rounds, lectures, or other offline activities
• Download usage reports organized by resident or by rotation

Rather than creating rotations from scratch, program directors can modify and adopt a rotation from the Shared Library, and more! Residents can view the available rotations, as well as their own individual progress by rotation.
