The overall goal of this course is for the student to experience and learn the basic anesthetic management of the perioperative patient. Clinical learning will occur in the preoperative care unit (POCU), operating room (OR), post-anesthetic care unit (PACU), and other locations relevant to the specialty. One technical skill, bag-mask ventilation, must be performed with proficiency as part of the Patient Care competency.
Outside of the clinical learning environment, students will engage in guided, independent learning via a series of digital learning modules and assignments.
