Reviews

From the book reviews:

“The multi-authored text, Comprehensive Guide to Education in Anesthesia, takes the reader on a journey, from the roots of academic anesthesia to a place of global and community outreach. … the content could appeal to practitioners who are new to the American system of anesthesia education and are looking for a synopsis of the anesthesia-training continuum – from medical student to seasoned practitioner engaged in lifelong learning.” (Judith Littleford, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, Vol. 61, July, 2014)
